I understand wanting to keep the police out of your private things. But we already let them in when they have a warrant. Are you saying DNA is more private than your house, computer, phone converations, etc? Or that all those things should be off limits to police with a warrant?
Of course this is not the same as giving them free access to whatever they want. Then I could understand people's worries. Individual policemen could use it to harass people they don't like, or other abuses.

I can live with the police gaining access to my house but my computer and phone conversations are just as off limits to them as I want my DNA to be. Every device I own that can store data is fully encrypted so the police have no access to that regardless of their wishes. Same goes for most of my phone conversations. I draw the limits at two things: my body (DNA) and my mind (communications, data).
