LE can take your DNA (blood) even if you are not guilty of a crime apparently..

This may be old news, but I have been trying to follow this. I am curious as to what most of you think. This seems to be a case of anyone who gets arrested or apprehended even if its a minor crime, and even if you are never convicted or released without charge these states can still take your blood and put it into CODIS.

It seems extreme and vary invasive and almost like something out of a sci-fi movie like Gattacus.

EFF Again Reminds Court Forced Warrantless DNA Collection Violates Fourth Amendment

Well, we have to supply fingerprints for your drivers license and to get something notarized. Why wasn't someone bitching a fit about those first? Fingerprint collection dates back to least the 70's.

dna gets innocent people out of prisons, keeps innocent people from going to prison, and puts guilty people in prison. DNA records help find missing people, the elderly, children, and adults, living or dead.

there are certainly pros and cons ...

as of now the solution is pretty simple ... if you dont want to take a chance of LE drawing your blood for their records dont break the law and get arrested.

They may take a Blood sample for a DWI case to determine BAC or possibly other substances. But as far as a common arrests they obtain DNA through a mouth swab. They take a large Q-Tip and swab the inside of the mouth the swab is then placed in a hermatically sealed plastic bag and then filed to be further processed through a testing Lab.

even if Im never arrested I always entertain the idea of giving a cute fem cop a sample of my DNA

I never had to give a finger print to obtain my license and neither did either of my kids who now drive.

Cj7, your points are well taken. I still think this is incredibly intrusive, but how many actual murders and rapes where DNA was obtained and never used? Look at how many rape cases there are where the DNA kits are never opened and sit on shelves for years while innocent people sit behind bars.

You understand nothing of freedom.

look it up

So, if a person is arrested, it can only be because they committed a crime and are guilty. Cool! We can get rid of courts and juries now. You just saved the government a lot of money! Thanks, CBJ7!

Do yourself a big favor and don't pursue that fantasy. About 75% of all female cops happen to be lesbians. Ijs.

I can see it now. A provider gets arrested and has her stomach pumped and the DNA is used to prosecute her clients.
