You're sentenced after being convicted. I too support taking DNA from convicted felons. It's not like fingerprints to me.
Only those convicted of felonies should have the DNA taken. We take their right to vote and their right to own a firearm away, and I don't take issue with those. Taking DNA is just a "modern day" adaption of the concept that once you've committed a felony - a grievous crime, usually involving violence - you're revoked your right to certain things. This just adds the "right to keep your DNA private" privilege to the list of things revoked.
