      <![CDATA[Karl Warden:  Various government agencies, California DMV, U.S. Army, Tennessee Department of Safety, and probably some I've forgotten, already have my prints and those of millions of others. So if they had my DNA it would make no difference to me.  If a DNA swab in front of others would prove me innocent I would be glad to do it.

      <![CDATA[Betsy,  Your point being that collecting DNA will probably be ruled unconstitutional because it's an invasion of privacy? My point being that taking DNA samples is no more invasive than taking fingerprints so there's a good chance it won't be ruled unconstitutional.

      <![CDATA[Betsy, The state already has your fingerprints and  DNA is merely more definitive fingerprints so the constitutionality will probably be upheld. I would think you would be all for it if it helped catch the "real" rapists and killers  and we would quit jailing poor suckers because of faulty identification.
