I think this is inevitable. Naturally, law enforcement agencies will be able to use this genetic data to quickly identify suspects based on forensic evidence gathered at crime scenes. They will also be able to quickly exonerate falsely accused individuals, even unpopular ones. Neverthless, there will be countless large and small things that people "get away with" because circumstances will naturally prevent tying particular misdeeds to genetic evidence in many, many cases.
but if the DNA were in the very IDs used in phone passwords and such, the cops might be able to lay in wait and the minute you spit on the sidewalk or toss a butt, they could snatch it up and get your dna then get in your phone. of course this would be in the distant future when puters were powerful enough to analyze dna in a few seconds. mebbe if the passwords were quantum or quantum-encoded, that would be unsolvable.
