Supreme Court upholds Maryland law, says police may take DNA samples from arrestees
Arrestees ??? Is that an English word ???
Ping back – not a good route to go down.
I don’t believe the current record keeping of fingerprints is broken and I see no logical reason to use DNA until such time as it is required to confirm motives, evidence and historical information.
If a person is erroneously or wrongly accused and exonerated, the DNA database information on record maybe erased legally, but somewhere, somehow that information has been BACKED UP anywhere, everywhere that only a few have privileged knowledge and information about it’s whereabouts.
That’s the technical reality of databases. Add the cloud and bingo everything disappears magically and virtually, but can be reconstructed on demand.
That’s what I would do if I where in charge ! Hey – thank God I’m not in charge of those activities.
Add A.I. down the road and you are as good as toast.
