Whistleblowers are law-abiding citizens with courage, but are incarcerated at a high rate. I know this from personal experience. People who think giving up their privacy and civil rights is A-OK because they aren't going to do anything wrong are utterly uneducated about what has been going on in this country. The prison system in the United States was designed to house the excess lives, those who could not get a job in the neo-liberal economy designed by the 1%, then they designed the laws to scoop up the powerless and get them out of the way. The non-profit-industrial-complex then sprang up to "manage", not house, not help the homeless who are the left over people they couldn't get into the prisons or former inmates with social disabilities. The DNA, like the probation department are used to scoop people up and get them back into prison. If the state of Alaska actually wanted to help catch sex offenders they would do things differently like test the rape kits they have stockpiled.
