    I'm not worried about something that overt. I'm thinking more along the lines of a randomly processed DNA profile that just happens to show up in a file somewhere.

    Regardless of conspiracy theories, I simply wont offer up any more info to the govt than i have to.

    Actually, I'm agreeing with you. What Fuhrman did was not part of a conspiracy "theory", it was fact. The taxpayer of LA had to fork over $25 million as a consequence.

    Then why in the hell are you bringing it up in a topic about DNA testing?

    Hey, here is a topic about Baseball. I think I will grad into it a bunch of nonsense about Golf. After all, both games are played with balls so why not?

    Really.

    How many Nazi escapees and KKK members did Obama get? Zero and Zero.

    How many Nazi escapees and KKK members has Trump gotten? One and Zero.

    Trump has a better record in everything it seems.

    good, I think every American should have dna on file at child birth

    it would help prevent rape and crime

    but the data should never be accessible to insurance companies and a felony for any insurer to use with a 10 billion dollar fine per use

    Sorry, nothing would ever prevent crime. Period, ever.

    The simple fact is that most criminals either believe they would never get caught, or simply do not care. We already have mandatory DNA registration for sex offenders, but they still commit more crimes, even knowing their DNA is on record.

    I think it would prevent some, and bring others to justice

    when you get a rapist of the street faster, less victims

    never claimed it would eliminate all crime, but it would reduce it

    just like cop cams do not make all cops good, but it would reduce the bad cops

    public camera like at Walmart also reduce crime

    shop lifting still happens today with cameras in stores, but less and those that do are often caught

    *snort*

    No, the cameras in stores do not prevent crime. They still get hit by boosters on a daily basis. And of those caught, only a small fraction ever even get turned over to the police. In a lot of areas DAs are increasingly less likely to prosecute shoplifters.

    Hell, in most areas of California unless the amount of theft grows close to $1,000 most DA's won't even take such a case to trial! I can't tell you the number of jurisdictions that I worked where the police would not even show up, no matter how many times you called them.

    And the thieves know this. I have caught shoplifters at 10AM, and seen them taken away by the cops for having a warrant. Then see them try to come back into the store at 3PM the same day.

    They know we have cameras. And they generally work either in teams, or in quick grab and dash operations. Our "Red Bull Crew" has been hitting Bay Area Safeway stores for thousands of dollars in Red Bull a week for years now. I myself caught them in 2015, the cops just released them without charges. A year later the entire crew was caught in 2016, with almost $5,000 of Red Bull in the back of a truck.

    https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2...ly-stealing-truckload-of-red-bull-worth-4700/

    And here is the thing, they are still doing it today! Because Saelee is normally the "pusher" (the guy who leaves the store with the product) they are known as the "Asian Red Bull Thieves" among local AP-LP agents. They hit almost exclusively Safeway stores, all within 1 mile of a freeway off ramp around the Bay area. And have hit stores as far north as Chico, as far south as Fresno. They just pick a freeway (5, 80, 280, 880, etc) and just drive down it, hitting stores until the back of the van is full.

    I still keep in contact with a lot of AP-LP, and they are still hitting to this day. But the State DA has never tried to hit them on major conspiracy charges, and it is hard to get the individual city and county DAs to work together so it is hard to tie all of their crimes together.

    The crooks know this, and know they will continue to get away with it.

    "No, the cameras in stores do not prevent crime."

    camera's reduce crime, not prevent it entirely, every time one that does it anyway, they are often busted today thanks to cameras

    if one has nothing to lose, camera prob not gonna stop them, can stay in jail or prison for their stay then try to play the crime game again or change if they have rehab type programs in the system

    that is sad that in your area they wont investigate a case with video, that is just wrong

    All cameras do is make it easier to prosecute a crime afterwards.

    After all, we have had cameras in banks for over half a century. Yet banks still get robbed every day.

    Because you have solid proof that every last human is a democrat by assumption.

    Like executions stop people from killing each other? Long jail sentences stop people from selling drugs?

    No, none of that "prevents" crime. There has never been any proof of that ever. The most it ever does is take the criminal off the street for a while, or has them simply go elsewhere. Such things do not prevent it.

    There were a very small number of Republican Klansmen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Klansman were most active lynching mostly African Americans, but the vast majority of Klansmen were Democrats.

    “The White men were roused by a mere instinct of self-preservation to rid themselves, by fare means or fowl of the intolerables burden of governments sustained by the votes of ignorant negroes and conducted in the interest of adventurers.…until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern Country.” Woodrow Wilson

    Ummmmm . . . by now the youngest of Nazi War crime people would be in their early nineties . . . which means that they would have been in their teens during the war. KKK lynchings? Do you actually mean kneecapping and bricks to the heads activities committed by hooded ANTIFA thugs? How about being concerned about all the south of the border murderers rapists that leftist open borders policies are allowing to come into the United States to ply their -- er -- hobbies?

    Indeed, all they had in common, besides being overwhelmingly white, southern, and Democratic, was that they called themselves, or were called, Klansmen.[62] Parson 2005 page 18

    Although St. Landry Parish had a registered Republican majority of 1,071, after the murders, no Republicans voted in the fall elections. White Democrats cast the full vote of the parish for President Grant's opponent. The KKK killed and wounded more than 200 black Republicans, hunting and chasing them through the woods. Thirteen captives were taken from jail and shot; a half-buried pile of 25 bodies was found in the woods. The KKK made people vote Democratic and gave them certificates of the fact. Du Bois, Black Reconstruction in America: 1860–1880, pp. 680–681.

    actually executions increase murder as some do it as a form of suicide.... lwop does a better job of preventing murder - but many still murder... by your logic we may as well make murder legal as it doesn't stop all murder

    selling drugs is very profitable, it's like playing the lottery, many play again when released - if the demand is there, some will do it - but many wont cause it's illegal

    btw, I do not support prohibition of drugs or alchol - stupid inhumane laws

    You obviously missed the fact that I said "all" such crimes should be tracked down and prosecuted. Including right wingers in the KKK or anarchists in Antifa.
