The issue is that once the information exists, it will be used. Every infant in Sweden has had to supply a blood test for research since 1975. Then a murder happened and suddenly the police gained access to the database. Then a rape happened and the police requested access again. A few years ago politicians discussed opening it up for all "serious" crimes. Now they are changing the constitution to limit what one is allowed to say, extending what constitutes a crime.
I'm all for limitations to stop famous cases of one person having 50 identities but the current path is not without risks. The data we collect today might be used differently in 30 or 50 years and then there's no turning back.
