I'm not a criminal until I'm convicted; sorry. Once a person's convicted, sure, take their DNA, especially if we're dealing with a violent criminal. That person surrendered their rights when they initiated the use of Force or Fraud. But until conviction, leave them alone.

So are you saying cops should only be able to take fingerprints of people who have been convicted of a crime and not just arrested for it?
Hell for all I care i wouldn't mind if people were forced to give fingerprints/dna if they had traffic violations. Afterall they still commited a crime.
