Perhaps it will get to the stage where we have Time Cops (like Minority Report I guess) who jump ahead, check out the news of crimes, then jump back and stop them happening.
Eg....Following a review of the natural lifestream of Mr X, we can see that :
Age 5 : Pulled the wings off a butterfly
Age 9 : Hit his sister in a sibling fight
Age 13: Had his 1st cigarette
Age 17: Sprayed a wall with graffit
Age 21: Got drunk and smashed a shop window
Age 27: Was paid too much change in a shop and didn't hand it back
Age 32: Dodged a fare on a train
Age 43: Kicked a dog
Age 45: etc, etc
Based on this report, we can see that Mr X is a lifetime serial offender, and as such, recommend that the foetus be terminated, or prior to that, the parents be sterilised, or prior to that the grandparents being shot, or prior to that...ad infiniteum

Originally posted by threadedIn real life I have read studies where they try and infer certain markers by looking at you, and in others, going the other way, they can try and infer your surname from your DNA.
My favourite, that I keep mentioning, is if you like pictures of trees, forests that kinda thing, you're more likely to have a Germanic or Scandinavia background and if you find them scarey then you're more likely to be southern European.

I do appear to have built up a collection of them. Blessed things, two year old children given wings and a combination ice pick, file, tin snips with which to set out and destroy.

Does anyone watch CSI? These guys can get your DNA by just looking at you now!

Maybe they could even sterilise certain children at birth if they had genes which showed they were going to be "disabled" in later life or carried genes that could lead to disabled offspring.
The definition of what "disabled" actually means could be varied according to political aims at the time.

I know all too well that DNA is the current 'hot babe' of the Police. When my car was broken into not that long ago I suggested to the Police that they might like to take fingerprints of the items that were moved within the car but not actually stolen.
The answer was 'Nah, they'll only bother if there's the possibly of a DNA trace'
So there we have it guys and gals. The bottom is quickly falling out of the glove market. It seems fingerprints aren't worth bothering about anymore.

Talking about DNA sampling, the Government are always on the lookout for "magic bullets". But their reliance on DNA will be sadly short-lived, as there are now computer-controlled machines which can churn it out like spaghetti and it's only a matter of time before some enterprising rogue biochemist starts making and selling "DNA confetti", with samples indistinguishable from the real thing from a thousand or even a million people which crooks can simply spray all over crime scenes to obliterate their own DNA!
