Why is that absurd? The state of PA has a huge, make that humongous, fingerprint file, they can search completely, for a match, in 8 minutes.....remotely..... from every county.

Why bother with wiping your snot off a railing when they could track you through things like phones or purchases if they wanted to?

Whenever I rob a convenience store I try not to make any credit card purchases there first...or call home and check my answering machine on their phone.

We are one of the most crime tollerant societies on Earth, and I think that since our justice system is as overloaded as it is we need more databases like this.

They wouldn't be so overloaded if they got their collective butt in gear before 9/10am, didn't take 2/3 hours for lunch and didn't knock off at 3pm. Didn't call people to miss work and show up in court then postpone for a month because the court steno's cat had kittens and he/she is the only one that can read their notes.
I'll spare you the thirty-teen paragraphs I could write on this subject. You're welcome.

Do you have a cell phone, use credit cards or turnpikes Glatt? How can you dismiss the clear benefits of something like this for the illusion on anomimity you don't have anyway?

You're confusing tracking a known individual's movements with prosecuting (persecuting)someone based on railing snot.
Trusting the legal system is something you'll hopefully outgrow before it bites
you in the butt.
