Police can take your DNA sample upon arrest

(Reuters) - In a major victory for law enforcement agencies, the Supreme Court on Monday ruled that police can take a DNA sample from someone who has been arrested and charged but not convicted of a crime.

By a 5-4 vote the court reversed a decision last April by Maryland's highest court that overturned the 2010 conviction and life sentence of Alonzo Jay King for a rape committed seven years earlier.


The court, in an opinion written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, handed a victory to the state of Maryland by saying taking of DNA samples was similar to taking fingerprints

DNA samples can be taken if police have probable cause to detain a suspect facing charges relating to a serious offense, Kennedy said.

Taking a sample using a swab of the cheek is "like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure," Kennedy said.

King's right under the U.S. Constitutional Fourth Amendment to be free from unreasonable search and seizure had therefore not been violated, he added.

Like fingerprints, DNA is used for identification, and is not by itself evidence of a crime, Kennedy said. There is a legitimate government interest in knowing the identity of the person arrested, he added.

Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative, joined three liberal justices in dissenting from the decision.

The Maryland court had concluded that King's Fourth Amendment rights were violated when he was required to provide his DNA upon being arrested.

CHECKS WITH DNA DATABASES

Under Maryland law, samples can be taken from anyone arrested for a serious offense without police needing to get a warrant. Police can then submit those samples to a national database to see if the suspect is linked with any other crimes.

Monday's ruling will leave that law and others like it around the nation intact.

:dwillhuh: How is this not guilty until proven innocent? Don't nikkaz have to have some kind of court order/warrant/legitimate proof before they take your DNA? What if you're a poor black dude, they take your DNA, place it at the spot of the crime, and say it was you who did it? What is going on in today's USA?

Floodgates about to open with this one. What else will be framed as "a legitimate police booking procedure"?

Well, it's not a big deal if you don't get arrested.
It's a big deal if you commited a major felony and accidentally left behind DNA evidence at the crime scene. :shaq:

What's next? They gonna be able to take blood samples immediately too? :snoop:
The new gestapo

I think they can do this now...at least here in Texas.

My friend told me last week on Memorial Day that if you refuse a breathalyzer on memorial day(which a holiday where alot of ppl drink), the cops can draw your blood right there to check ur blood alcohol level.

I dont know if it's true, but I dont think my friend just made that up on the spot.


Stay outta trouble brehs.

they want our dna folks....
they are continuously trying to find new ways to control us...one way is DNA reprogramming

be careful brehs

:wtf:
I know a lot of states do blood tests but I think for most you have to consent. That's should be beyond illegal if that's true breh :damn:

DNA Can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies
Russian DNA Discoveries
by Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf

Original version

The human DNA is a biological Internet and superior in many aspects to the artificial one. The latest Russian scientific research directly or indirectly explains phenomena such as clairvoyance, intuition, spontaneous and remote acts of healing, self healing, affirmation techniques, unusual light/auras around people (namely spiritual masters), mind’s influence on weather patterns and much more. In addition, there is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes.

Only 10% of our DNA is being used for building proteins. It is this subset of DNA that is of interest to western researchers and is being examined and categorized. The other 90% are considered "junk DNA.” The Russian researchers, however, convinced that nature was not dumb, joined linguists and geneticists in a venture to explore those 90% of "junk DNA.” Their results, findings and conclusions are simply revolutionary! According to them, our DNA is not only responsible for the construction of our body but also serves as data storage and in communication. The Russian linguists found that the genetic code, especially in the apparently useless 90%, follows the same rules as all our human languages. To this end they compared the rules of syntax (the way in which words are put together to form phrases and sentences), semantics (the study of meaning in language forms) and the basic rules of grammar.......

Junk DNA aka, i dont understand this so its trash. What rubbish science these bozos are using friends. Good for these guys to take that leap and actually do their jobs as scientists.
