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.

It can be copied by more than just LEOs. Read all my posts and use your imagination. You leave your DNA *everywhere*. Literally. And anybody else has access to this. You shed skin cells, hairs, tinkle in public toilets, sneeze, cough, give blood samples at the doctors office, go to the dentist...use your imagination. Anyone in any of these places has access to your DNA. It's like identity theft...they don't steal *your* identity, they steal *a* identity. One that isn't theirs.
