Very fitting for a state which boasts the #1 City in the U.S. for crime: Camden, NJ. Good old Newark, NJ boasts eight (8) execution style-murders in the past two months, and the "Mercer County Moron" thinks we need to do LESS to fight crime in this state.
A DNA sample is no different from a mug shot or fingerprint. Actually, keeping samples on hand would REDUCE the hassel, etc, to ex-cons, because an accurate DNA database could instantly EXCLUDE thousands of ex-cons from even being questioned or "brought in" as a suspect in crimes where a defintive DNA sample was left behind.
Unfortunatly, NJ Superior Court judges are brought up thru the political process, and most have zero business adjudicating anything other than what they're going to have for lunch. Many of them are unfit to carry even Lance Ito's jurisprudential jock strap. A guy can graduate from law school in 1975, work his whole career in lobbying, car sales, vaccuum cleaner repair, etc, and voila! one day his homosexual lover gets elected governor and he's getting fitted for a robe and gavel. That's the kind of selection process we have in NJ. It's called "pay to play," or; post-McGreevey, "lay to play!"

IMHO, this is the most idiotic opinion a Judge has ever rendered. This seeks to defeat the entire purpose of collecting DNA. I hope it goes to the US Supreme Court and that they scuttle it.
