What's everyone's opinion on this new law?
Used to be that if a person was convicted of a felony, that got their DNA put on file.
Now, if a person is even charged with a felony, they get a DNA swab.
My concern is, charges can get dropped or they can be pled down in many cases.
It is my understanding (correct me if I am wrong) that the DNA stays on file "to help solve cold cases".
Does this violate a person's rights, in your opinion?
