Except DNA and Fingerprints are far less accurate than you’re led to believe [1]. Having worked with DNA, contamination is likely insanely probable and I doubt the validity of all cases it is used as the only piece of hard evidence (it’s alright circumstantial evidence).
The greater question has to do with what our rights are. The reality is, our system has been setup such that everyone commits crimes. By applying highly effective methods, you’re essentially enslaving the population. That’s why we had laws protecting freedom of speech and unreasonable search and seizure. The U.S. was setup to be particularly sensitive to those issues. The reason they are in the constitution is it was believed government would eventually try to chip away at the freedom and it did.
That’s why people are concerned. Their duty is to keep the peace. That does not necessarily mean or need to mean spying 24/7.
