Was watching a program on the crime channel and was wondering how many people would gladly have their DNA on file. So many crimes are repeated and could be solved with a DNA database of everyone I'm just wondering who would object to it and why. It's something that sounds so simple yet hasn't been done. Should it be law ? |  | | |  |

Think there are privacy issues such as why should the state have information like that about the individual.
Aldo, once a criminal has paid their debt to society why should they be treated any differently from other members of society. |  | | |

Part of me thinks I'd be alright with that, as you say, it would be an invaluable resource to efficiently solve crimes. Another part of me thinks absolutely not. I could envisage a situation where the randomness of the universe could put you at the centre of a crime that you know nothing about. In a world where everyone's DNA is on file, you could see policing being lazier and the burden of proof pushed more onto the defendant. |  |

Yeah I think when you really consider it, the cons massively outweigh the pros. Being falsely imprisoned must surely be one of the hardest things a person could be put through. | |

Didn't think of that. Could be a valuable tool though when combined with CCTV etc | | | |

Yeah, if you imagine a system where everything is above board and no shortcuts are taken, it would be great in instances such as that. Unfortunately, given all the dodgy things we know have gone on in the past, it would be hard to trust that things would be done right. | |

That is pretty wild, it vaguely rings a bell but I might be thinking of a plot from a film or something. | |

I think that contamination scenario has been used in both CSI and Silent Witness. | |
