FJ you brought up DNA not me.
You said ."A DNA database is also precedence and I haven't heard the Constitutional argument against that."
so i pointed out several constitutional cases and otherwise..
are you saying you get to bring a topic up in defense of your position but no one can reply?

But if they are passing the info around the country in a database WE all get to be in the loop as well. And other leos need to get a warrant for the info.
And to Jim's point, Frankly Driving is not a privilege. it is in fact a right. a legal right. though one we've not exercised so it's been Assumed that the state grants the privilege. that's color of law not law. the only people that legally need a license for the roads and highways are those engaged in business. other than that the right to travel public roadways is a citizens right. even more-so since he pay for the land and roads and the state acts as the citizens agent.
But it seems assuming that the state works for us instead of the other way round doesn't makes sense to some folks.
