I think that's exactly Frank's point. Catching criminals will be the
excuse used to introduce the DNA database. But the database won't be
very effective unless every citizen is recorded therein, so they will
change the laws to make it a requirement that you contribute a sample.

The other argument is that under the government mentality, even if it
isn't a legal requirement to contribute a DNA sample, they could seek
to make it an effective requirement by denying medical service until
you cave. An incentive you cannot refuse, so to speak.

This is all hypothetical, of course.
