The answer is that this is unwarranted, literally. Privacy is a right. Privacy is a part of freedom.

I just admitted that more specific criteria had to be drafted. Why pick apart such a blatantly general statement?

I was making a general statement, not disagreeing.

embezzlement
grand theft
treason
espionage
racketeering
robbery
murder
rape / sexual assault
sodomy
kidnapping
fraud

All of them demonstrate a disregard for person or property, and all of them indicate that any prosecuting you for future crimes you commit will be assisted by DNA evidence.

If the conviction is overturned on appeal or in light of new evidence, you have the right to request that your DNA be removed from the database.
this is something I could get behind...however, why are we letting these people, who have committed these horrible crimes, out of prison in the first place?

That's an excellent question. I wish I knew. Knowing that 20% of the people are committing 80% of the crime, I don't know why the fuck we let them out. I can agree with you completely on that one.

I would assume that they pay their debt to society in prison, where they are reformed (which is why people like you and I should be working hard on prison reform, to ensure there is reformation), but the DNA is in the system for life or until they are exonerated.
