A Christmas Carol: DNA Past, Present & Future
This program was designed to explore issues surrounding DNA collection. Currently, California has a law which allows DNA to be collected upon arrest for ANY felony. Two cases are currently pending before the California Supreme Court, which address the constitutionality of DNA collection at the point of arrest. One case has held that DNA collection at the time of arrest is unconstitutional and the other indicates that is not. The California Supreme has asked for one of the the appellate districts to review this issue in light of a Federal Supreme Court case, Maryland v. King. Our program explored what the relevant legal analysis is for making this decision and what result our Supreme Court should reach.
