Message Subject New York governor urges mandatory DNA samples, will propose a bill requiring collection of DNA for felony or misdemeanor crime

New York's governor on Wednesday proposed making the state the first in the country to take mandatory DNA samples from anyone convicted of a crime, including relatively lesser offenses.

Governor Andrew Cuomo, in an annual "State of the State" speech to the New York legislature, said currently DNA was collected in less than half of crimes on the books.

"I will propose a bill requiring the collection of a DNA sample from any person convicted of a felony or Penal Law misdemeanor," said Cuomo, a former federal prosecutor and New York state attorney general.

Cuomo said that applying DNA collection to all criminals would both help law-enforcement bodies fight serious crime and protect against wrongful convictions.

Current exclusions include "numerous crimes that are often precursors to violent offenses," he said.

"As a result, we are missing an important opportunity to prevent needless suffering of crime victims. We are also failing to use the most powerful tool we have to exonerate the innocent," he said.

Im from ny state and they do this already. they added me to their database in 1998. They do it now for felonies and any sex offense. (No im not a sex offender. I caught a burglury 3rd degree charge when i was 17.)

But the fact that theyre trying to do it for misdemeanors too is concerning. I guess they figure lets get em all in the system as early as possible.hiding
