COMMENTS ON PROPOSED DNA LEGISLATION
One of our readers posted the following comments to this post.
And what if you are incarcerated for a shortage in a child support payment? If you are fingerprinted and photographed why shouldn't they be able to take a DNA sample as well. Fathers will build the FBI database just as quickly as real criminal suspects.
That's not right. It should be as easy as having your record expunged if you have written a bad check. Just like if you are held in civil contempt and pay up. If it's the first time, you should be able to trot right into the Clerk's office, pick up a form order, pay a fee, file the Order and have your record expunged. But can you? NO. You're always a deadbeat. This is nothing more than creating a database and there should be safeguards if you are exonerated.
