Baltimore Sun editorial: DNA testing: Why not just trash the Fourth Amendment?

I found Dan Rodricks' commentary regarding DNA testing and the recent Maryland Court of Appeals ruling ("DNA: Why wait for an arrest?" May 3) to be quite interesting. He states at the end that he can't think of a good argument against his position that we should all give DNA samples to the authorities whether we have been accused of a crime or not. Well, Dan, I've also thought about how useful having a large repository of DNA can be. Unsolved crime and a city mayor on your back? No problem! We'll just take some DNA from our bank, plant it at the scene, and say that it was left there.

DNA evidence would surely trump any factual alibi, so no problem, case closed, someone (whether guilty or not) now behind bars, and the mayor's happy. Don't believe it could happen? Think again. Planting "evidence" is not unheard of.

. . .

Of course, we could simply scrap the whole Fourth Amendment and allow the government to enter our homes and search them whenever they felt like it, all in the name of proving our innocence. If we have nothing to hide, why should we not give them free reign and not require things like probable cause and warrants?
