Really, we may want to make sure we have a system where victims of crimes aren't afraid to come forward for help, for fear that coming forward may result in an increased likelihood that they themselves are caught for a crime they previously committed.
People tried protesting this decades ago when the government started collecting fingerprints for everything. Get a federal job, give your fingerprints. Get a nursing license, give fingerprints. Get a carry permit, give your fingerprints. It didn't work then and I'm not sure it'll work now.

You usually do not have a right to even have the police show up. You may not like that, but that is the law. Criminal law enforcement, including prioritization and de-prioritization, is the prerogative of the Executive.
