Because using DNA collected from a victim of crime to prosecute them for a later crime is probably a violation of 5th amendment rights. The next logical step if you don’t think the 5th was violated is collecting DNA from everyone (eg: repur

Godwin’s law doesn’t apply when talking about actual Nazis. Pre-collecting DNA from everyone to use as evidence against them in future criminal investigations is way over the line when it comes to “is this behaviour totalitarian or fascist”

And on top of all of the fears expressed by Gunner Sergeant Andrew Guthart, there is serious discussion of using ADS-B in place of active radar at many airports. With the high visibility of ADS-B you’d have thought that someone in US DOD wo

I walked into a nightclub and asked for sex. I did not get sex, so therefore nightclubs are not places people go for sex. All those people claiming nightclubbers hook up for one night stands seems like scurrilous slander to me. It’s terribl
