Report: FBI plans massive expansion of DNA database
Raw Story
Sunday, April 19, 2009
The Federal Bureau of Intelligence will expand its DNA database to include samples taken from individuals who have not been convicted of crimes, the New York Times reported Saturday afternoon.
“Until now, the federal government genetically tracked only convicts,” wrote reporter Solomon Moore. “But starting this month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will join 15 states that collect DNA samples from those awaiting trial and will also collect DNA from detained immigrants — the vanguard of a growing class of genetic registrants.
“The F.B.I., with a DNA database of 6.7 million profiles, expects to accelerate its rate of growth from 80,000 new entries a year to 1.2 million by 2012 — a 17-fold increase. F.B.I. officials say they expect DNA processing backlogs — which now stand at more than 500,000 cases — to increase.
“Law enforcement officials say that expanding the DNA databanks to include legally innocent people will help solve more violent crimes. They point out that DNA has helped convict thousands of criminals and has exonerated more than 200 wrongfully convicted people.”

In the past, DNA evidence has been used to exonerate innocent men held in prison for years.
In 2007, A Chicago man who spent 25 years in jail for a rape he didn’t commit was fully exonerated on the basis of new DNA evidence, bringing to 200 the number of such cases overturned since the 1980s.

“Law enforcement officials say that expanding the DNA databanks to include legally innocent people will help solve more violent crimes. They point out that DNA has helped convict thousands of criminals and has exonerated more than 200 wrongfully convicted people.”
They lie, when they do have DNA that exonerates a convict they have been caugh suppressing it, plus the FBI cannot be trusted to provide the correct samples anyway. Google FBI lab and errors or fraud for some interesting cases.
When an attorney wants to supply DNA evidence to a court to exonerate a convict it is usually disputed, the the attorneys often have to go to court just to get the ability to show the evidence and even then judges and DA’s fight it. One case I know of was thrown out because the evidence was presented after some arbitrary deadline, when the judge admitted the man would be proven innocent, but still refused to hear the evidence in court because of the deadline.
You don’t want the FBI the be the custodian of the DNA, now how no way. Just ask Richard Jewell or Brandon Mayfield what they think of the FBI labs ability to provide objective evidence.
The FBI has been caught lying so many times you just cannot trust anything anyone from the FBI says unless you it corroborated by an outside source and if the FBI holds the DNA there is no way to be sure that they are even testing the correct sample, either by malevolence or just out and out incompetence.

Remember Folks – you the Truthers are ignorant, and TOO STUPID, and of course too retarted for this world, and be happy happy about it, and jump up, and down with joy when they tell you this.. Why? Well up is down, and down is up, so don’t let them get too you especially with fear, and intimidation, and of course don’t let them get you down, and crying – keep your mind bricked at ALL times folks, oh!, and please know their tricks= be them, but be truthful, and backwards of them, and of course be gentle as a dove…

When authorities do the testing of DNA samples and then accuse someone of the crime because his DNA was there… it’s over. Case solved. No disputing it. You can’t dispute it because it’s 100 billion to 1 that someone else has the same DNA.
Think of how easy it would be to frame someone or find some patsy guilty with this system of justice. If the cops control the DNA test, they control who they want to find guilty. If the authorities are crooked, there will be no justice, only those people they want to throw in jail.

i don’t care how many people have been proven innocent by dna evidence, i still don’t want my dna in their bulls--- database. if i am charged with a crime it should be up to me to determine to use my dna as a defense against whatever dna evidence they supposedly have. welcome to the new amerika, where you are guilty until proven innocent.

That’s real nice. Not only do we have to put up with some police misusing their powers by distorting facts, withholding evidence, lying etc. Now they want the ability to introduce someones DNA to a crime scene. What alibi? What is their obsession with generally useless information? Clearly, there are ill intentions. Yes, I know, it’s for my protection.

Would not DNA testing, storing etc. be OBSOLTE if we were all MICROCHIPPED? Why worry as much about dna as the fact that they want US ALL CHIPPED. DNA testing, messups, etc. will become the new ‘EXCUSE’ to CHIP, simply because of the dna testing results will , of course, already be chipped into you and be readily able to be scanned.
So…. that’s what I’ve gotten from this web site, as well as other news sites. It’s NOT really about the DNA, but something completely different , which is just par for the course………

Let me get this straight. The Supreme Court has ruled that we can have abortions under a right to privacy….the right to have control over our bodies. But this same govt tells us we must submit to this “DNA harvesting”. ANY of you who submit to this collection effort without resisting deserves what is coming. Tell the cops at the checkpoints that you will NOT give them a sample. You may get tasered and beaten (sue their asses!) but the time has come for the sheeple to resist.
