I really don't have a problem with this at all. We are talking about CONVICTED felons here.

You gotta turn up the water slowly, or the frog will jump out.

[EggsAckley]

Did you know that it is a FELONY to steal avacados from an orchard?

Pretty soon it'll be you or your family, then you'll be screaming "But I thought they were on OUR side."

Think about what you're saying. Anything can be made a felony, from murder to having a joint in your pocket.

Here in California, law abiding gunowners jumped through all the existing hoops to buy a certain legally manufactured firearm. A couple years ago they were told that those weapons had to be turned over to the state, or their mere possession would be a felony after the deadline.

The legal activity you enjoyed today, friend, could easily become the felony of tomorrow; will you have a problem with a law like this then?

Just wait a few more years until speeding tickets are retroactively made into felonies.

I really don't have a problem with this at all... YET.

Unless you are a bubble boy these little communists pukes have a few plans for you as well. They just need to keep a voting block on the side of this bs to keep it looking "legal."

Personally, I would tell the screechy little flamers to KMA.

90% of the convictions are the result of coercive plea-bargaining procedures; this adds a new twist.

Soon, we will have a requirement to submit a sample of DNA to receive any government benefit - my guess is three years.

[philetus]

misdemeanors and library fines aren't far behind.

Neither do I, as long as it stays with the convicted only.

I'm guessing you're the same person that says "Why shouldn't you submit to the DNA test? If you're not guilty you have nothing to fear!"

[gnarledmaw]

Im not sure whether I should focus on "convicted", like those convicted on bogus dna like the FBI uses, or "felony", like minor paperwork errors and farting in public.

The problem is called "ex post facto" - this is a retroactive action. Of course, SCOTUS will parse away the problem by saying that this action is not a punishment.
