Law Enforcement Identification System

Issue

   Many criminal cases go unsolved worldwide due to the lack of information being available to investigators regarding an unknown suspect.

Solution

   Adopt a global biometric identification system that contains information on every person in the world. Finger/palm prints, DNA samples, retinal/iris scans, and photographic images of facial and other physical characteristics should be stored in the system.

   This global effort will require businesses to register their employees into the system and non-working individuals will be required to register in order to qualify for services within their country. Validation checks and biometric gathering should be conducted at international points of entry to ensure the accounting of all personnel entering a given nation.

   The benefit of incorporating a global biometric identification system is that it allows law enforcement to quickly identify suspects before they may commit a crime, improving public safety. There may be some complaint about invasion of privacy concerns, however, the counterargument is that preventing law enforcement from apprehending a suspect is actually an obstruction of justice. For those who disagree, they may be subject to civil lawsuits by crime victims who would have been protected if the system was operational at the time.

   Overall, the importance of incorporating a global biometric identification system greatly outweighs any concerns that some individuals may have regarding the system.
