New Study Proves Microstamping Technology Works

16. Criminals are notorious for getting around laws in general; it's what makes them "criminals"

There's all sorts of ways to get around all sorts of forensics tests. For instance; a latex glove. For instance; a shower cap. for instance; hydrogen peroxide or ammonia. We should scrap fingerprinting, DNA and fluid sampling because it's relatively easy to evade them?

No. Because the fact of the matter is, most criminals don't put a lot of planning into the crime. Real life is not "Murder, She Wrote," much less any of the CSI series. These television shows have to make their antagonists criminal masterminds who cover every step they take, otherwise there's be little drama for the viewing audience. In reality, forensics only works because of how much evidence tends to be left behind; criminals are usually too focused on doing whatever the criminal act is that they just don't have time for all that movie villain planning.

Your only half-intelligent argument is that it costs money (I'm sorry, but squawking the NRA bullet-point, "feel-good, RAWK, feel-good, polly want a cracker!" does not a cogent position make.) Yeah, things cost money. Can you please tell me though, on your own estimate, what a reasonable cost - in precise dollar amounts - would be for a feature that makes it easier to catch even just a handfull of murderers? Extra credit; divide that dollar amount by the minimum number of criminals, and tell me what you value human life at. Thanks in advance.
