I was one of those writing Brownbach, asking him to veto this bill.
The one on collecting DNA from anyone "arrested" ..... bad ... bad ... and bad. To me , it's an exercise of the State, FBI and FEDs to collect all the info they can on everyone they can. Just like face recognition they are trying to do across all states with driver's licenses and feeding them into the FBI database.
There is a question of privacy to me that the Govt is going way beyond with collection of email, posts, and all kinds of computer info across social networks, etc.... that just demands the question, why does the Govt think they need it ? I mean, really
There is a need for this ?
To me, DNA is a physical intrusion as well, and there is absolutely NO justification of it at all. It's another thing they are arguing ... "it's for your safety" .... "so we can catch the bad guys" .....
but they are proposing collecting it on ANYONE and EVERYONE they can , who's been arrested for ANYTHING.
NOT Convicted, and I would even question that need as well ..... but even arrested and not found guilty of a friggin thing ? NO ... period. This includes misdemeanor arrests as I understand it , it 's everyone.
I think it goes against everything we stand for, and our rights of privacy of any information, including the Govt collecting DNA information on it's citizens.....
It totally demands, a much better reason..... and I think most of what is occurring in this regards needs to be stopped. Govt has NO RIGHTS in the constitution to invade into our lives at all..... nor anything about us. The 4th Amendment is being destroyed in so many ways now, and this is just another form of BIG Brother BS. Even the UCLA has been fighting these.

Voice : There ya go man……. Keep as cool as you can….
Face piles of trials with smiles ………….
It riles them to believe …. You perceive the web they weave
Keep on thinking free……
There is a need for this ?
