One of the arguments I heard against DNA cataloguing was that personal information can be obtained from it. In the future it is likely we will be able to determine a persons medical conditions and predisposition to medical conditions simply from looking at their DNA. As far as I'm aware the police do not have (and should not have) access to a persons medical information under normal conditions.

As for the 'whats the problem if youve done nothing wrong' argument, the simple answer is that we should have a right to privacy. If you had cameras pointed at your house and there was a policeman on every street corner to whom you were obliged to disclose where you were going and what you were doing, it might seem a little different, but still those who have done nothing wrong have nothing to fear... right?
