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.
