Why can't they get DNA the old fashioned way, extract it from a suspect while in custody, with or without his permission.

Oh spare me the violins!
If a suspect wasn’t guilty, what would he be doing in custody?! 8-)

DNA information is now available from a Red Cross database? How inappropriate. The only way they should be able to do a DNA test is when they have they guy in custody. Why should volunteering blood and having it extracted at a bloodbank make everyone a suspect?

Actually I was joking back, but my point was that if DNA is gathered from a
suspect, all records of his DNA should be destroyed if the
suspect is not
convicted.
Suspects in crimes are no more guilty, from a legal perspective, than your average blood donor. (OJ excluded)

The last time I donated blood at the Red Cross, I had to sign an "opt out" form in order for them NOT to do a "genome amplification" on my donated blood.
After I donated blood, I was sorry I did because odds are that the Red Cross "amplified" my genome anyway.

Thanks for the links Askel, I'll try to peruse them in my spare time. I've been away from FR for 4 days and have lots of catching up to do.
