Wait until you become the criminal.

Ever accused a company of discrimination?
Ever told a lie about another citizen?
Ever stole something?
Ever lied on your taxes?
Ever did recreational, yet illegal drugs?
Ever buy cigarettes at an Indian Reservation so you won't have to pay the high taxes?
Ever smoke in a non-smoking area?
Ever return something without a receipt?
Ever go to Canada to buy cheap booze?
Ever win money gambling that you don't pay taxes on?
Ever receive more change back from a store?
Ever send food back to a restaurant because you wanted to try and get a free dessert?
Ever drive home after having one drink?
Ever lapse any type of insurance coverage?
Ever been a witness to a car accident?
Ever verbally assault another person?
Ever make money in a garage sale?
Ever hunt?
Ever hunt and not eat what you kill?
Ever sell anything to a private person?

The list is endless. Think them through carefully, and try to imagine a scenario where you WOULD NOT be the criminal.

If you can't then you aren't very smart.

What happens when the laws make everyone a criminal?

A good point and one made by the U.S. Attorney General Robert H. Jackson, later a Justice of the US Supreme Court, in a speech in 1940 in which he said: "With the law books filled with a great assortment of crimes, a prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some sort on the part of almost anyone. In such a case, it is not a question of discovering the commission of a crime and then looking for the man who committed it, it is a question of picking the man, and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him."

What does any of this have to do with whether a national DNA database is a good idea? I'm happy to stipulate that many things now classified as "crimes" should not be so classified. This fact doesn't change the fact that other things, also classified as crimes, very definitely should be so classified, crimes such as murder or rape in which DNA evidence often proves to be very helpful in convicting the guilty or acquitting the innocent.
