Doesn't a criminal give up their right to freedom by doing crimes?

So why wouldn't a war criminal give up their right to privacy by doing war crimes?

Uh, IDK about anywhere else, but in the US prisoners are supposed to retain their bodily autonomy even while imprisoned. the actual reality is that that is often ignored by the government, but that's what the law says, at least.

Sure they still have rights.

But not their right to freedom. That is why they are in prison. They aren't allowed to leave.

Ok, but only to an extent. Prisoners 100% get fingerprinted. Not sure if they collect their DNA too, but I wouldn't be at all surprised; to the point where I already assume they do.

I know for a fact that certain places now mandate collection of dna for many crimes.

Is it already proven that they are criminals or do you want to remove someone right in order to prove they are criminals?

Rights of people are regularly taken away to prove they are criminal.

Searching peoples homes for evidence is probably the most common way.

It's also proven that Hitler was one of the worst human beeings ever to walk the earth.

That's only caused we haven't searched the right home yet.
