I object to fingerprinting people before they are convicted. Safety statists sold that freedom long ago.

So how do you presume to prosecute crimes that have no witnesses? Like burglaries or murders? You know...cases where the fingerprints are the key evidence linking the criminal to the crime?

Well, Einstein...I'm waiting.

Without fingerprinting, how do you get a conviction?

People are fingerprinted for any number of reasons that have nothing to do with convictions. If you are a law-abiding citizen, you shouldn't FEAR anything, even having your DNA on file.

I notice the ACLU and other activists are all for DNA if it gets someone out of prison.

"Safety statists"

Why use two words when one words just fine? Cowards.
