It can aid the government in doing other things in the future when Hillary is in charge too.

am not seeing any well-reasoned argument against the use of a DNA database

I'm not against databases, it is how the samples are collected and from whom. LET THEM GET A WARRANT IF THEY WANT TO SEARCH.

Yes, OJ showed us all how one can escape prison with DNA samples.
