Dandy. So law enforcement can take my DNA just to keep on hand for future reference.

So there are DNA profiles for geneological and medical research? So what does that have to do with having your DNA involuntarily taken for criminal databases even if you've not been charged of a crime, nor convicted of one? I think it's intrusive. But then, we're so far down the road, I guess it doesn't really matter anymore.

Oh please. You argued, and I quote: "So if your fingerprints are on file somewhere, there's not an assumption that you were arrested for something."

I pointed out that, since there are many other databases that are both privately and publicly held and maintained, your claim of an assumption of arrest was a faulty conclusion based on erroneous assumptions. Don't pull this red herring crap on me.

I agree with you. There is a huge difference between fingerprints and DNA, to the point that I consider a false analogy to compare one with the other.

The potential for mischief is too great.
