And if they're convicted but later on exonerated, why would the government still need their DNA?
This is not the change people voted for!
Same reason why the government keeps your fingerprints!
As for the change you voted for... please stop giving ammunition to the right that Obama supporters are clueless, because one would have to be pretty clueless if they thought that Obama was going to stand over 100 years of criminal investigative procedure on its head because of advances in science!

The best ammunition seems to be coming from Obama himself, as he seems intent on doing exactly what Bush did on many subjects.
thats what I'm sayin
Microchip,DNA and prints.
Science has made the chips so much less intrusive, how can you argue against them?
p.s. bonus points for using "jesus christ" and "science" in the same post.
You progressives are goooood.
This is a slippery slope fallacy. "If this happens, surely (worse thing) will happen as well!"
I do not agree with his support of this, especially simply upon being arrested, but DNA and fingerprints are unquestionably different than permanently inserting a foreign object into someone's body.
Anyways, this is an unfortunate idea, and I hope people disabuse him of this notion quickly.
They will keep the DNA of people who are aquitted AND of people who had the charges even dropped! That's what's wrong about this! In fact, you could have been unlawfully arrested, and they would still keep the DNA.
Finger prints are not discarded even after acquittal.
I know, but then (or beforehand) you get an outside, dated, witnessed test and keep it somewhere else.
Remember how we were/are all supposed to keep a few pints of the blood of each member of our families at a blood bank (or somewhere) in case of emergencies... add DNA samples to that, I guess.
Well, let's say what if: they collect the sample from the person arrested, then take some of it and get it onto a piece of "evidence" from the crime scene. How would anyone know if a corrupt cop or lab did that, other than the innocent accused person who wouldn't be believed that they didn't do it?
