A procedure for police is being suggested, where the police raid garbage bins and stuff everywhere for DNA samples for everyone they can, as often as possible to make a public dna database. Its your choice whether it goes through or not.
They only raid stuff they already can access without a warrant.
In this hypothetical, its estimated through very through means that should be trusted that:
Crime would be solved 50% faster
Unsolved cases would go down by 80%
Cases that are unsolved long enough for other people to become victimized go down 70%
False arrests go down 95%
False convictions go down by around 20% though it's estimated to be higher since it doesn't take into account False convictions that haven't been found out.
Should the police collect dna from garbage containers from everywhere if it significantly improves crime fighting?
