That's an interesting one. They already have something like this in the UK, although I don't recall it going through Parliament or any election: it simply became police policy to take samples from any person who is arrested on suspicion of any criminal offence (i.e. feolny or misdemeanour in US-speak), and to retain those samples in perpetuity. The sample is retained even if the person is subsequently acquitted, or released without being formally charged. There was a recent legal challenge to this, which reached the House of Lords, and failed. At this point, the only recourse is the European Court of Human rights, and that could go either way...
