including criminals.

Suspects aren't necessarily criminals.

"including criminals."

Suspects aren't necessarily criminals.

Two points. First, I don't accept the notion that building a DNA database implies that people who give DNA samples are suspects. Second, such a database can aid law enforcement in exonerating people, as well as identifying victims of crimes.

The bottom line for me is that the government can do a better job of securing our rights and freedoms with a DNA database than without one.
