To be fair, you only said, "In Illinois..." and did not compare it to Texas. If you compared them from the get-go, a lot of this from me would have been different. Granted, I would prefer Texas to have stricter driving laws, no offense.
I have always felt that when laws/rules are applied they should be applied universally- regardless of position, location, race, creed, color, etc. If felony laws change from state to state, then the overall DNA processing of "felons" is highly questionable. In my opinion we would need federal regulations that determine the criteria for when the DNA of convicted persons are to be taken for processing.
The main idea of this I still believe: if you are innocent, your DNA in the justice system can't bite you in the ass (unless someone abuses that system for purposes other than the administration of justice).
