Melthough and "planting DNA evidence"
If I read your post correctly, then you're saying one risk is that crooked authroities would have the means to plant your DNA at crime scenes, but (correct me if I'm wrong, and nicely please)...
Everyone's DNA would be taken baiscally as a swab from one's cheek, then that run through whatever do-hickey gives you the donor's "map" (wow I suck at science..).
Crime scene DNA would be blood, semen, hair, sweat, skin, etc. So unless the authorities have a way to recreate actual tissue and fluids from your cheek swab, it should be near impossible to plant DNA evidence, no?
I say swab and fingerprint everybody in the country. If things/government get so bad that people are tracked and framed for crimes and cloned or what have you - then frankly being falsely accused of a crime is the least of my problems.
