By that logic, fingerprints should only be accessible under a warrant. We can't have it both ways, is my point.
Perhaps every citizen should be finger printed, swabbed and photographed from every angle and entered into a database for future crime tracking. Why should only the guy who may have been falsely arrested, or arrested by mistake, be exposed to the full monty and not every other citizen of the country? Maybe the police suspect a guy of some crime and so they arrest him for jay-walking and then give him the full treatment in the hopes of snagging him on the bigger charge. It sounds like a great boon for police in fighting crime but police have courts as a check to ensure they don't abuse their power - this is just another erosion of those checks.
