DNA on file?

Question

Do you think DNA should be on file for everyone,not just criminals. that way more criminals could be caught if they are first time offenders? DNA is only kept on record after you become a criminal, making it harder for first time offenders to be found even with blood or hair left behind. So my question is do you think DNA should be taken when you are an infant(like saliva from a baby) when they are born?

Answer

I don’t have anything to hide, but I’m not entirely sure I trust the justice system/government enough for this to not be used against me(or others) in spite of having nothing to hide. In the U.S. this would probably be unconstitutional under search and seizure. 
I see you on the benefits, but too many Black Mirror vibes for the to say it’s worth it.

Answer

No, I don't agree with it. That is an invasion of privacy. In America it would be unconstitutional because of the fourth amendment. I am a law abiding citizen, there's no reason for the government to have my DNA in their data base, and I hope that our society never becomes so trusting that they would agree to such a thing. I know I don't trust our government enough for me to hand them my genetic material. Who's to say they will do what they're saying they'll do? No, I'm all set. I value my right to privacy. Government collecting DNA at birth sounds like the uprising of some dystopian society.
Remember Maryland v. King? The supreme court ruled in favor of collecting DNA  after arrest, and I didn't even agree with that. You should be proven guilty and then it can be permissible for a DNA collection. I loved Justice Scalia's quote on the case: "But the proud men who wrote the charter of our liberties would not have been so eager to open their mouths for royal inspection"

Answer

No, I don’t think so, but people don’t realize they are doing just that when they do those ancestry DNA kits. That information is publicly available and the police have started using it too.

Answer

This could be misused in a corrupt system in so many ways. 
I'd rather not thanks.

Answer

For the reasons you stated I think they should only be available for the police simply for DNA testing in the case of a crime but that is the only time it should be used

Answer

No. The government does not need more power and control than they already have. Freedom is meaningless if we give the government control over absolutely everything, including our DNA. The potential for corruption and false accusations and convictions is huge.

Answer

I think it should be voluntary, but I do think offering the option could have its benefits.. I was watching coverage of the fires in California that killed over 90 people and how they used DNA to faster identify remains and give a family closer. Personally, I have nothing to hide, but wouldn’t want my family to have to wait longer than needed to get information on me in those situations

Answer

I don’t trust the government enough for this.

Answer

It’s actually when you’ve been ACCUSED. 
And I have to pay to get my dna removed from the court system and you truly don’t know if they do. You can’t go watch it be destroyed so.

Answer

A thousand times NO
