Time for a System Overhaul

Time for a System Overhaul
Nice system we have. So effective. The only reason this guy probably won't go free again is because of the publicity.

(Riverside-AP) -- The man arrested today in the investigation of the kidnap-murder of a five-year-old girl, was accused two years ago with molesting two girls under the age of 14. Alejandro Avila was found innocent by Riverside County jury. Deputy District Attorney Paul Dickerson says of the case two years ago: "I felt the guy was guilty and did everything I could to try and get him convicted."
The body of Samantha Runnion, who was kidnapped in Orange County Monday evening, was found in neighboring Riverside County on Tuesday. Concerning today's arrest, the Riverside County prosecutor in the molestation trial of Avila two years ago says: "I feel horrible. You can't imagine how bad I feel about this ... I'm going to live with this for the
rest my life."

I'm thinking it's seriously time for a national ID card with your DNA encoded into it. Or maybe just the DNA portion for criminals with history of felonies. If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear. Kill a kid and leave a chromosome behind? You're fucked. End of story. I'm sorry but if you've had multiple offenses with molesting children, you should not have the same rights afforded to those of us who live our lives trying to do no harm.
Bushy is talking about national (standard) driver's licenses. Makes sense, doesn't it? I mean, if you can drive in CT you can drive in NY, NJ, or California as well. If currency is standard from state to state, why not licenses? Sure, leave special in-state restrictions as necessary (such as age, type of license, etc.). You can even add the name of the state as a state ID (for example, for voting ID) Just make them uniform in appearance.
What do you think?
