I don't think money is the primary constraint. It's the privacy issue.
See below for some of the stuff swirling around. I'm thinking it won't get resolved anytime soon.
DNA Databases Are Boon to Police But Menace to Privacy, Critics Say | The Pew Charitable Trusts
I thought just do same thing like with warrants but the below comment resonated with me also
Quote:
But Michael Melendez, policy director of Libertas Institute, a free-market think tank based in Lehi, Utah, that helped Hall craft the bill, said traditional consent and warrant models don’t apply to DNA databases.
“You won't see a warrant for an entire town to knock on everyone's door and search everyone's house,” Melendez said. “In the same sense, with a digital DNA database, we don’t believe you can go in and just get a warrant to do a mass search.”
