And how are they supposed to do that with no DNA database?

That is a great idea.  I cannot fathom how it could be a bad idea.  The cops
find a glove with hair in it at a crime scene.  They prove only one person
wore the glove.  They find that the person who owned the glove also has the
families stereo in his living room.  The guy admits to guilt.  One guy
caught!

What is wrong with fingerprinting children?  I still have not heard a reason
why any of this is bad.  Read your paragraph, and you tell me what is wrong
with fingerprinting?  Some countries do it to everyone.  When I lived in
Panama, and Nicaragua, they both finger printed me.
