LADA Supports Collection of Felony Arrestee DNA
November 12, 2011
In August, a panel of state Court of Appeal justices ruled unconstitutional a section of the state’s DNA Forensic Identification Data Base and Data Bank Act of 1998 that mandates DNA samples be taken from felony arrestees.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office opposes this decision and has filed a letter with the California Supreme Court in support of the petition for review filed by the California Attorney General’s Office.
