I'm looking for more details, but, in essence, the DNA will stay on record forever. In the event your conviction were overturned you could petition for the destruction of your DNA.

The DNA sample is provided by collecting a sample of inner cheek cells from the mouth (known as a “buccal swab” sample). This sample would be in addition to the right thumbprint and full palm print impression of each hand required by law.

Further, I believe that Prop. 69 authorized the state to collect DNA form all adults ARRESTED for a felony in 2009 and beyond! Right now, it is only for those convicted of a felony.

DNA is the building block for your body, the state will only take a few old cells that are about to be swollowed anyway. It will not kill you. Your DNA will be in your system for life and even after death. Once the state has a record of it, well you watch Law and Order and CSI don't you? Don't break any more laws.

At least in CA. Only law enforcement will be using it for comparison. It will NOT be available to private employers.

Heck, if they want your criminal offender record, there are other sources to TRY and get that ... DNA would be too expensive to try that.

The judge warned you of how much time is over your head.

Ask your atty these questions.


PS: for other readers, PC 296 has been expanded, requiring DNA samples on some misdemeanors & all felonies, on conviction. It's just a cheek swab, usu done by Sheriff's personnel.
