I would think it would be a " vilolation" of a person civil rights. Not that I care about any criminals I am trying to think outside the box.
i don't know Ohio's protocols, but all convicted felons and sexual offenders have DNA swabs taken.
misdemeanors, i doubt it.
and DNA cheek swab is no more invasive than fingerprinting. it does not violate their civil rights.
