and kings arrest when they did the dna-resulted in a misdemeanor conviction, not a felony. many states do dna swabs on convicts, not arrestees. that is what it should be in all states.

And you choose to ignore the fact when one is printed it is run through IAFIS not only to see if it matches a previous print on file but also latent prints taken from crimes. If the arrestee is coming through the system for the first time there is no print match on file but it is still run for unknown suspects from a crime. I'm sure when the latent print is obtained and ran it comes back no hit. Otherwise a warrant would all ready exist for the arrestee. I believe there is even an award given by the FBI for latent print hit of the year. This guy's original charge was classified as a felony and he pled down for a reason I suspect.
Fingerprinting started with no data base to confirm identity but it did create an identifier besides a name for arrestees/convicts. The same can be said of DNA especially taken in a swab only it's a much more precise identifier.
The comparing of Verizon customers to this felon I just don't get.
