Your DNA can be copied like a xerox machine by a process called PCR. DNA is hardly foolproof evidence anymore. Even fingerprints are harder to copy than DNA.

Your DNA can be copied like a xerox machine by a process called PCR. DNA is hardly foolproof evidence anymore. Even fingerprints are harder to copy than DNA.

Are you contending here that DNA evidence is unreliable? Needless to say, if DNA evidence is unreliable, then that fact would be a good argument against a DNA database. However, I am unaware of anyone who seriously argues that DNA evidence is unreliable. The mere fact that DNA can be copied goes to authenticity and chain of custody issues that our courts are prefectly capable of handling.
