It would never happen. That is the ultimate violation of privacy. The ACLU would orgasm if anyone proposed such a thing.

Pros would include using a DNA database to show the history of someone who might have criminal record. In this way you would prevent someone that might have a bad history from the work place. Say for instance, it would prevent a child abuser from working in a nursery. It might also get people to think about what they are doing, knowing that if their DNA is on the database, it might act as a deterrant.
Cons would include the invasion of privacy. If you do not even have a choice it could aggravate people. It would feel like communism.
