Well, that's the heart of the problem, Sara. You are agreeing with this measure in one post, yet contradicting yourself in another. They are talking about taking DNA samples whether you are innocent OR guilty. Once you're arrested, they take the sample. Not everyone arrested is guilty. So, innocent people ARE having their rights taken away.
If, If, If, thats all they used it for is to fight crime, it might be all right. What if they used it to abort your unborn child becuase you and spouse, DNA make up presented less than perfect results? What if they used it for increased fees(tax) on universal health care that is rationed to the peasants? What if they use it to determind what part of the country you live in? What if they use it to restrict the food you can buy at the Gov-Mart store? What if they use it for passage through the security check point in the case of a swine flue out break? Not that I have anything to worry about, I have my tin-foil hat on???
I don't understand what's so complicated? Don't commit a "violent felony" and you won't have your rights to privacy taken away. When you act in ways that could hurt the rest of the innocent population, yes, we are going to infringe on your rights to keep others safe. I do, however, agree with "innocent until proven guilty". The article says those who are "arrested" will have to give DNA. I would definitely agree that a person would have to be convicted in a fair trial before their "rights" (which are in my opinion priveleges for people who follow the law) were taken away. When someone is proven guilty of harming innocent people, though, I believe that it is neccessary to take certain measures to make sure they do not hurt anyone again.
Or, Sara, perhaps people who care about their civil rights might be upset about this. You judge everyone on such simple terms when this is far more complicated than that. I heard this "the only people that should be upset about it are people who have something to hide" argument when the last administration was listening in on our phone lines too. Innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.
Good! For everyone who does not agree with this, ask yourself if you would feel differently if someone you loved was killed and the only link to the murderer was DNA. If that DNA was in a database, wouldn't you be happy that a killer was brought to justice? It may be infringing upon our rights in some ways, but it is going to protect the innocent a lot more than it will hurt the guilty. In my opinion, the only people that should be upset about it are people who have something to hide.
Another step into an Orwellian future... We need to fight this.
Anonymous: The government has a right to fire leadership in a company it owns majority stake in. Anyway, Put your tinfoil hats away guys, you have nothing to worry about if you're not out beating people up.
It's pretty simple. Don't get arrested, and you won't have to give a sample. Duh. What are you guys worried about?
Again...We are losing all rights in this country and people are just rolling over and accepting it! The government wont stop on this issue until they are allowed to take our DNA samples at the birthing rooms when children are first born! WAKE UP PEOPLE! YOU ARE LOSING YOUR RIGHTS AND YOU DON'T EVEN CARE
why they jusy put everyone in the data base,that way theres no pointing the finger on race or anyone,its just about that way to get a job ,etc.
THIS IS HOGWASH! the majority of arrests for DUI's and failure to pay child support, should not have to GIVE DNA samples. This is WRONG..but hey, DEMOCRAPS leading their way in GOV, pretty soon we'll have to give our FIRST BORN. The Census is even starting to get into YOUR PERSONAL BIZ...watch out..The Govt will be watching your every move.. GPS to track where you live.. The GOVT is already becoming INTRUSIVE..Since when have you heard that a President of the USA has the right to fire a GM leader?? NEVER until now.
