The people overseeing it could potentially have immoral plans for this information. Someone could hack into the database and put the entire country at risk. Imagine if a member of the KKK hacked into the database. It would launch the country into chaos, a downward tail spin into utter madness. The DNA evidence itself isn’t even perfectly reliable. Errors are common, and can pretty frequently give false results. The DNA can be cross-contaminated, improperly labelled, and can be altered by something as simple as environmental factors. Something at this large of a scale isn’t worth it if it can be so easily inaccurate. Personally, at this point in time, I don’t think that having a national DNA databank is unrealistic. For the government to fund something at this large a scale wouldn’t work. They don’t have enough money. The security of the databank would be horrid and easily hackable. If that’s the case, I’d rather them not worry about a DNA databank at this
