I read that Ohio just passed the law allowing DNA on arrest for a felony but that they do not have the funding in place. So new law not yet happening. But if the guilty party has already been convicted of a felony, Toledo is good to go.
In CA, DNA is taken after an arrest for a felony. And I always thought it was way messed up. Based solely on the fact that even the arrested are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Someone close to me was arrested on a BOGUS charge of cultivation (felony) (w/ a $75,000 bail posted by me) and the DA never filed charges. But yet DNA was taken. And I was out a couple of thousand bucks that went to Alladin.
But then I read in the news that this asswipe was arrested and charged with a horrendous murder all because of a DNA match made after an arrest for an unrelated felony.

They got the bastard and he will be held accountable.
So if someone close to me gets the DNA swab in a messed up situation, so be it. Stop getting yourself in messed-up situations.
