That would be the privacy issues surrounding the use of biometrics and other high tech tools for fighting crime in todays world. Contrary to their belief, in my opinion and many real experts it's a foolproof way to exonerate the innocent more than anything else, and that's simple reality.
Just ask any guy released from prison lately that was imprisoned due to false allegations by victims or arrest by police and erroneously prosecuted on the word of such only to be later exonerated by newly available dna tests what he or she thinks about this technology, then cry about privacy issues they supposedly have. Those Duke rape suspects would be an example of the latest false allegations that may have stuck were it not for the use of DNA tests.
It's always ACLU type liberal defenders of the wayward misfits in society who claim they are falsely accused or racially profiled on one hand and then on the other hand claim invasions of privacy that worry about these things because 9 times out of ten they are the criminals that would stand to suffer from this technology. The same goes for the millions of illegal immigrants floating around the country unabated.

Driver’s License Emerges as Crime-Fighting Tool, but Privacy Advocates Worry
New York Times: "BOSTON, — On the second floor of a state office building here, upstairs from a food court, three facial-recognition specialists are revolutionizing American law enforcement. They work for the Massachusetts motor vehicles department.
Last year they tried an experiment, for sport. Using computerized biometric technology, they ran a mug shot from the Web site of “America’s Most Wanted,” the Fox Network television show, against the state’s database of nine million digital driver’s license photographs.
The computer found a match. A man who looked very much like Robert Howell, the fugitive in the mug shot, had a Massachusetts driver’s license under another name. Mr. Howell was wanted in Massachusetts on rape charges." read more
