Is this a good idea?In regards too reducing crime!!!?

I always thought that with so many unsolved crimes around,there should be an easier way of reducing it or even solving them all.What if everyone was fingerprinted and Dna taken.from birth as well as right now.Have it saved in a super computer,thats safe etc.for life.just forgetting about the "rights""politically correct""religon/belief"etc for now.Only check the computer when there has beem a crime committed and a fingerprint or dna sample has been left behind.wouldnt it be easier too find the person that committed the crime?or at least,you have somewhere too start the investigation?wether the person got framed or not,thats upto the lawyers to prove or dissaprove it?Is the idea really that far fetched when you consider you need pretty much id for everything?what do you think?

    With all this kid dna and print clubs going around, all for the child's own safety of course. We are slowly but steadily building that data base that you speak of. Just as my military records/prints are not suppose to be able to be accessed by police, those kid club things are not either, yet have been multiple times. It is just a matter of time before they are unofficially included.

    This isn't a new idea. There's a group that's been campaigning for this. The argument against it is that I don't trust the government. You say it'll only be accessed in certain cases, but I don't trust the people in the government. They'll use it for other things.

    I don't commit crime and I object to anyone having my finger prints or DNA in a database and it is nothing to do with being PC or religion, I will not be treated as a criminal when I am not

    That's a horrific violation of my rights, and I never want to live in a society that thinks it's okay to forget about my rights,or anyone else's rights.
