Sgt. David Perry of the Truro Police Department and other law enforcement authorities here say that the program is voluntary but that they will pay close attention to those who refuse to provide DNA.

"We're trying to find that person who has something to hide," Sergeant Perry said.

Just because someone doesn't want their DNA collected, doesn't mean they have something to hide. What an underhanded way to get DNA samples.

This is no different that the police sweeps where they come around and ask permission to search your house for illegal guns. Anyone who doesn't have any, doesn't have anything to worry about and should let them in so they reason that anyone who doesn't let them in, must have illegal guns or they would have no reason to keep the police out.

And once they decline, then they become suspect not only of that crime, but of anything. So, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't.

I don't trust the government as far as I can spit.

A northern California woman has been indicted on federal charges accusing her of illegally importing guitar picks made from endangered turtle shells.

An indictment unsealed Friday says 54-year-old Qing Song of Santa Rosa imported picks or raw shells of the Hawksbill sea turtle from China and sold them in California. It's illegal to trade endangered wildlife without a permit for scientific research or other approved, noncommercial use.

Some musicians prefer shell picks over plastic picks because they believe the shells produce a superior tone.

Song is charged with two misdemeanors and a felony count of trading in endangered species. She also is accused of selling 74 picks and possessing another 899.

Records did not indicate she has a lawyer.

My previous point about too many things being felonies is illustrated here. Most people hear felon and think Al Capone, nowadays it's just as likely that it's a 54 year old grandma selling guitar picks. Obviously she's a hardened career criminal and WE NEED HER DNA!!!!!!
