According to the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday, Maryland's law that allows police to take DNA samples from suspects is not a violation of 4th Amendment rights regarding unreasonable searches and seizures. A sharply divided Supreme Court said police can routinely take DNA from people they arrest, equating a DNA cheek swab to other common jailhouse procedures like fingerprinting. Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler applauded the Court’s ruling.
