I thought the Constitution said something specific about that.

Won’t be long before DNA samples will be taken from every citizen in the US, be they old or new born. With this future mandate, all semblance of privacy will be gone.
Not sure why this is so controversial unless the probability of DNA matching of the family member to the perp is so low that asking for a sample would be an unreasonable search. Lawyers are typically very challenged when it comes to hard sciences and so typically make very bad decisions (just look at the application of the endangered species act). The fact that California is using this makes me suspect that the science isn’t too good on this so would like to see a better explanation before I would say this is a good thing or not.
This passed as Prop 69 in 2004.
