I'd have to be in deep shit before I'd give my DNA to anybody. If I did, I would have a lawyer draw up some iron clad contract that it had to be destroyed after my being cleared. I'd be afraid of it getting mixed up, with real criminals, by some half assed lab worker or corrupt individual. I'm paranoid like that, lol.
There was a bizarre cold case, in Michigan, where an old murder got pinned on some guy who was currently in prison. Okay, that wasn't too far out but for this - he would have been like 8 years old when the adult murder victim was killed 30 years ago. What does THAT tell you? I'm also very suspicious of the motivations behind the human genome project which is all about collecting the DNA of everyone on earth.
If I'm not mistaken, anyone arrested on felony charges in Ohio is required to give police a DNA sample. There are other states doing this as well.
This also applies to those on probation, parole, etc. Former convicted felons would fall under this too.
You could be right. I don't know the laws on it in my own state. If that's the case, I am 100% against it.
