Well felons and sex offenders have consitutional rights and are entitled to privacy as well. But when they are incarcerated, in certain instances their finger prints and DNA are put into a database so they can be identified easily should they re-offend upon release.
With all the advances in forensic investigative techniques, it is almost impossible to commit the "perfect crime." Why then would it not be a good idea to be able to stop a murderer before he becomes a "mass" murderer, a rapist before he becomes a "serial" rapist or a kidnapper before he becomes the next "Jeffery Dalhmer." most of these types of offenders commit mutiple offences before they are even suspected. If a child grows up knowing that every time a bad person does something evil he gets caught and punished, he might have just that little pause that keeps him from becoming a number in a penal colony, when urges or bad influences might sway him?
I know it sounds "Big Brotherish" and all, but it is after all just a theoretical question. Red light cameras reduced deaths from traffic accidents, metal detectors make schools and Government builings safer buy keeping firearms out and abducted children have a much better chance of being found safe due to megans Law. Al these things didn't exist 20 years ago.
So the question, I guess, is how far would you go to ensure that your child is not raped, murdered or has holes drilled into his brain to make him a zombie like sex slave?

and "We're going to make sure justice is served" and they get some form of menial punishment-a slap on the hand. No-after that what's next? What else will we have to surrender? ![[Hmmm]](images/smiles/39.gif "Hmmm")
If you want to reduce crime-study why it is there to begin with-not enough food? Lack of jobs? Low pay? From there-work on it, do something about it.
