[quote:LonghairKing:MV8yMTYzNTY2XzM2NjQ3NzMxX0I2MzcxMjE2] Is there any law that prohibits the collection of your DNA? There should be. Seems to be a violation of your privacy- if you do not have any criminal record. Next thing you know, they will take your finger prints when you get a parking ticket. [/quote]

Nearly all people going through Colorado's criminal court system will have to submit DNA samples under a bill introduced at the Statehouse.
State Rep. Dan Pabon unveiled a bill Tuesday that would requiring DNA samples from people convicted of misdemeanors. That DNA would be entered into a database where it would be compared with DNA found at scenes of unsolved crimes. Colorado began collecting DNA from accused felons in 2010 under the so-called Katie's Law.
That law is credited with solving cold cases and stopping repeat offenders.
