There are very few examples of "minor" crimes becoming felonies, and in the case of multiple convictions of "driving under suspension", a person *IS* a dangerous criminal. Cars are deadly weapons just like any other, and they must've had their license revoked in the first place for a very good reason.
As for the repeated thread-jacks, we're talking about DNA collection here, not interracial marriage laws or the effectiveness of laws in general.
You can't "accidentally" become a felon.

you most certainly CAN become an accidental felon and to deny such is sticking your head in the sand.
bringing up different issues could be a threadjack, however, as it relates to individual rights being suspended or revoked does not make it so.
