  3. Re:That's what they all say on California Initiative to Expand DNA Database · · Score: 1

    In theory the innocent people need to fear argument is sound. In practice it's fundamentally flawed.

  5. Re:Presumption of innocence..? hello...? on California Initiative to Expand DNA Database · · Score: 1

    so if someone is found innocent for one crime and his DNA goes on the file and he has killed someone then a DNA search would find him,

    and a murderer would have an unknown DNA on file which if he was arrested for anything, (even speeding) he could be found and bought to justice

    If you haven't done anything wrong then what is there to fear

    maybe if ISP's responded to complaints about dangerous and obsene/illegal/racists websites in the way they responded to 'copied content' allegations we could save lives.
