Who knew . . .

there was any such thing as DNA when the constitution was written?  U.S. or state!

Maryland's Attorney General has filed a motion asking the state’s highest court to reconsider its ruling that it is unconstitutional to collect DNA samples from those arrested for crimes of violence. Also requested was a stay of its order until the Attorney General's office can appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. Supporters of the DNA law have urged the Attorney General’s Office to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court.

Federal courts, and nearly every state court considering the issue of collecting DNA samples from those arrested for crimes, have ruled the practice constitutional. Collecting the DNA of an arrested person is similar to fingerprinting suspects when they are arrested for crimes and then running the prints through a database.
