Beats the hell out of relying on eye witness identifications in cross-racial identifications. I don't think someone in police custody for a felony (or even a misdemeanor) has a right to privacy concerning their DNA. The police are allowed to take blood for such crimes, so they might as well be able to look at it, index it, etc.
All the better to keep dangerous people from committing crimes.
