My understanding: state convicts currently surrender DNA, so

What's the point of prop 69, given:about 6% of the population commits 80% of the crimes & we've already got their DNA

( ) A new bureaucracy for law enforcement w/ attendant funding & union membership
( ) A new source of power/control over the "subjects"
( ) other

It's gonna be as effective as ballistic fingerprinting in solving crime

Polly Klaas was murdered by her abductor shortly after he was pulled over for a routine traffic stop. Although the police encountered Klaas's abductor and killer in the area, they did not know that Richard Allen Davis had a violent criminal history or that he was violating parole.

Now try to tell me that if you had a daughter go missing and all that was left at the scene was a little bit of saliva on a cigarette butt that you would prefer that the police had no DNA database.
