Gun Shoots Criminals With DNA Tags, Marking Them For Later Arrest

The public tagging has begun,......... DOOMmmmmmm! :(

So that means if you get tagged and know you have been tagged then hiding for 2 weeks defeats the purpose. Is this thing really going to work?

Wouldn't it be more useful to hit them with a clearly visible (or even an only UV visible) dye?

"You 300 people may have visited the bank the other day, we need to swab you all over for DNA samples." "You 300 people may have visited the bank the other day, please do a spin."

Then there is a question of transfer and misidentifying people because of transfer (of course only if transfer is possible).

So, how do you go about locating these folks to scan them later? I think that stop and scan roadblocks or whatever would cauyse significant legal challenges.

Plus there is no proof that the mark was actually made at a riot. You could certainly claim that the police marked you at some other time -- possibly when they arrested you.

Or you could use a paintball gun... Is this even progress anymore? Result would be the desired outcome.

Reminds me of the story when a child sees a TV information & picture looking for the criminal and the child asks his mother: 'Why didn't they arrest him when they took the photo?'

ford2go, I was thinking the same thing, how do you locate all those people in order to scan the DNA tag.

Also. So scientists are not allowed to modify DNA in medicine to create better medicine for the fear that the new DNA might cause mutation and create super-bacteria, but it's OK to shoot foreign DNA onto people's skins in an unclean street environment?

Hey, if the tags work on cattle, let see if we can treat people like cattle and tag them as well.

It should also be noted that this technology is used in Britain where the people are treated as subjects and not as citizens.

my neighbor's step-sister makes $87 every hour on the laptop. She has been without work for six months but last month her paycheck was $21814 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Go to this web site and read more .....

Of course it's 'benign' DNA now. How long will it be before it contains some genetic disease or simply sterilizes the "criminal" so that they can't reproduce? It's a slippery slope, friends.

TAG'em and BAG'em.....

A slippery slope indeed. Why DNA?
Why not shoot people with paintballs with special difficult to remove, highly visible and electronically detectable ink?
Something glow-in-the-dark mildly radioactive for example.
Then they will be easily identified by everyone, and will have to turn themselves in.

It should just be an electronic device, very small, but it gets embedded in your body, and stays in your body for 24 hours or something, and it continues to give you small electric shocks until you report to the nearest police station to turn yourself in....like that new tv show continuum. Do the crime, pay the time.

or maybe have it be in that persons body forever until they report to a police station. don't break the law folks.

Why can't I read the comments on the women combatant and men's frailty article. It's been very entertaining and I'd like some more.

judas,
I guess the writer of the article,Shaunacy Ferro, did not like the comments, so they were BANNED?

Maybe we have a closed minded writer, perhaps, hmmmm?.

Today's street protester is tomorrows public servant or elected official. What public injustice, leads hundreds or thousands into the streets to protest? Why doesn't science look into the causes behind protest? In America, the right to protest an injustice is protected by law. Why is it impossible to think a person who has every legal right to walk down a public street, is a member or participant in a demonstration? Can't Science calculate the mathematical possibility of an individual being in the wrong place at the wrong time? What about a child finding a small pellet or berry on the sidewalk and in curiosity picking it up? The chances of getting it wrong exceeds the science behind the tagging. Why not just sweep up a few dozen people at random while a protest is going on and send them off to punishment and prisons? It satisfies the public need to feel protected, and the police's need to claim that they are "doing something to address the issue and protect society." Why not spend all that money on good old fashion propaganda, or "Official State Sanctioned lies" in the public interest. Serves the same purpose, at a fraction of the cost. Guilty of protesting injustice and being a criminal, until proven innocent.

This certainly will help with the increasingly common law enforcement problem of pesky people with cameras recording arrests. It's always much more effective to arrest people in the middle of the night in their homes, or at obscure places when they are alone. The "crime deterrent" effect of secret disappearances is always much greater in motivating an unruly populace to cower in their homes rather to than to engage in public protest. Hail Gestapo!
