(“Applying these statutory provisions to the circumstances here demonstrates that defendant's DNA was not unlawfully retained. Defendant was charged with Larceny from a Person on or about May 11, 2016 and his DNA was lawfully collected per MCL 28.176(1)(a), at the time of his arrest. Defendant's DNA was forwarded to the department after his arrest, but before conviction. On May 24, 2016, the Larceny from a Person charge was dismissed. On July 18, 2016, CODIS operators found an association or “hit” in the database between the DNA profile taken from Chelsea's leotard and defendant's DNA entered from the larceny charge. The total number of days between May 24, 2016 and July 18, 2016 was 55. This period of retention was not in violation of the statute because 55 days was within the 60 days statutorily allotted for the prosecutor to object to the dismissal and retain the DNA.”).

Minn. Stat. § 299C.105 DNA data required

§ 609.117 DNA Analysis of Certain Offenders Required

§ 609A.03 Petition to Expunge Criminal Records

Case Law:

In 2005, Minnesota enacted a DNA-collection statute that required law enforcement agencies to take DNA samples from persons who have been arrested for, but not convicted of, certain enumerated offenses (Minn. Stat. § 299C.105 DNA data required).  This law was struck down by the Minnesota Court of Appeals in 2006 as unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment and a provision of the  Minnesota State Constitution that is generally interpreted as coterminous with the Fourth Amendment.  In re Welfare of C.T.L., 722 N.W.2d 484, 492 & n.1 (Minn. Ct. App. 2006) (“statutory provisions that direct law enforcement to take biological specimens from juveniles and adults who have had a probable cause determination on a charged offense but who have not been convicted violate state and federal constitutional prohibitions against unreasonable searches and seizures. “).  But a 2013 Supreme Court decision held that a similar Maryland law was permissible under the Fourth Amendment.  See Maryland v. King,  569 U.S. 435, 465 (2013) (“In light of the context of a valid arrest supported by probable cause respondent’s expectations of privacy were not offended by the minor intrusion of a brief swab of his cheeks. By contrast, that same context of arrest gives rise to significant state interests in identifying respondent not only so that the proper name can be attached to his charges but also so that the criminal justice system can make informed decisions concerning pretrial custody. Upon these considerations the Court concludes that DNA identification of arrestees is a reasonable search that can be considered part of a routine booking procedure.”).

Case Law:

Although Nevada law provides for the collection of a DNA sample with a cheek swab for all persons arrested for a felony without a warrant upon booking, the Nevada Supreme Court has not considered whether the statute allows a DNA sample to be taken when a person is arrested without probable cause. Price v. Suites, No. 221CV01438JADDJA, 2021 WL 9218828, at *4 (D. Nev. Dec. 17, 2021).

The court held there was no Fourth Amendment violation if a DNA swab is taken from an arrestee or prisoner during the routine booking process, pursuant to NEV. REV. STAT. ANN. § 176.09123, and the provided protocol is followed. Judkins v. Clark County Detention Center, No. 2:22-cv-00878-APG-EJY, 2023 WL 3061516, at *7 (D. Nev. Apr. 24, 2023).

The Forensic Science Division of the Washoe County Sheriff's Office oversees, manages and administers the State DNA Database.

The board of county commissioners of each county is responsible for selecting a forensic laboratory to conduct or oversee for the county any genetic marker analysis that is required pursuant to NRS §§ 176.09123, 176.0913 or 176.0916.

A person whose record of criminal history indicates the collection of a biological specimen and whose DNA profile and DNA record have been included in the State DNA Database and CODIS pursuant to NRS § 176.09123 may make a written request to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History, using the Nevada Department of Public Safety DNA Expungement Application, that the biological specimen be destroyed and the DNA profile and DNA record be purged from the forensic laboratory, the State DNA Database and CODIS on the grounds that (A) the conviction on which the authority for keeping the biological specimen or the DNA profile or DNA record has been reversed and the case dismissed or (B) the arrest which led to the inclusion of the biological specimen or the DNA profile or DNA record: (1) has resulted in a felony charge that has been resolved by a dismissal, the successful completion of a pre-prosecution diversion program pursuant to NRS § 174.033, a conditional discharge, an acquittal or an agreement entered into by a prosecuting attorney and a defendant in which the defendant, in exchange for a plea of guilty, guilty but mentally ill or nolo contendere, receives a charge other than a felony; or (2) has not resulted in any additional criminal charge for a felony within 3 years after the date of the arrest.

If a court or magistrate determines that probable cause did not exist for the person's arrest, biological specimens are destroyed within 5 business days after receiving notice of the determination by the court or magistrate.

The forensic laboratory shall not destroy a biological specimen or purge the DNA profile of a person if the forensic laboratory is notified by a law enforcement agency that the person has a prior felony, a new felony arrest or a pending felony charge for which collection of a biological specimen is authorized pursuant to NRS 176.09123.

Case Law:

Shepard v. Houston, 855 N.W.2d 559 (2014)

(Neb. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 29-4106(2)), which prevented an inmate from being released prior to the expiration of his maximum term of confinement or revocation or discharge from his probation unless and until a DNA sample was collected, was ruled an unconstitutional ex post facto law in the context of requiring inmates to submit a DNA sample before being discharged from confinement because the statute was retroactive in its application, as it changed the period of incarceration for a crime committed before its enactment, inmate did not have fair notice of changes to good time scheme and, at the time of his crimes, expected that his mandatory discharge date would be calculated based on a mandatory scheme of good time accumulation and that the only possible forfeiture of this good time would be in finite amounts upon the discretion of the prison officials upon gross or serious misconduct, and statute, in mandating forfeiture of good time and thereby increasing the period of incarceration, was punitive).

The requirement for a convicted felon to provide a DNA sample pursuant to NEB. REV. STAT. ANN. § 29-4106(1)(a) exists once the convicted felon begins serving his or her sentence. State v. Weathers, 935 N.W.2d 185 (Neb. 2019).

The arresting law enforcement agency.   If a biological specimen was not previously obtained at the time of arrest, the Department of Corrections shall arrange for the biological specimen to be obtained if the defendant is in their custody.  This requirement applies regardless of the date of conviction. 

If the defendant is not committed to the custody of the Department of Corrections, the  Forensic Science Division of the Washoe County Sheriff's Office shall arrange for the biological specimen to be obtained from the defendant.

If the Division of Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety is supervising a probationer or parolee pursuant to an interstate compact and such person is or has been convicted in another jurisdiction of violating a law that prohibits the same or similar conduct as an offense listed in NRS 176.0913, unless a biological specimen was previously obtained upon arrest pursuant to NRS 176.09123, the Division of Parole and Probation of the Department of Public Safety will arrange for a biological specimen to be obtained from the probationer or parolee.

By written request to the Central Repository for Nevada Records of Criminal History, using the Nevada Department of Public Safety DNA Expungement Application, that the biological specimen be destroyed and the DNA profile and DNA record be purged from the forensic laboratory, the State DNA Database and CODIS on the grounds that the conviction on which the authority for keeping the biological specimen or the DNA profile or DNA record has been reversed and the case dismissed or the DNA profile or DNA record: (1) has resulted in a felony charge that has been resolved by a dismissal, the successful completion of a preprosecution diversion program pursuant to NRS § 174.033, a conditional discharge, an acquittal or an agreement entered into by a prosecuting attorney and a defendant in which the defendant, in exchange for a plea of guilty, guilty but mentally ill or nolo contendere, receives a charge other than a felony; or (2) has not resulted in any additional criminal charge for a felony within 3 years after the date of the arrest.

The forensic laboratory shall not destroy a biological specimen or purge the DNA profile of a person if the forensic laboratory is notified by a law enforcement agency that the person has a prior felony, a new felony arrest or a pending felony charge for which collection of a biological specimen is authorized pursuant to NRS 176.09123.

(Trial court had authority to consider whether expungement of minor defendant's DNA records from state DNA index system (SDIS) was warranted when DNA was collected during investigatory phase of crime that resulted in a youthful offender determination for defendant; Executive Law provided discretionary authority to court with respect to DNA material collected during investigatory, preconviction phase of criminal proceeding, and defendant would otherwise have had no means to seek discretionary expungement.  State Executive Law applies to testing, analyzing and retaining DNA data by city medical examiner’s office, despite statutory language referencing “state” DNA identification index).

North Carolina State Crime Laboratory of the Department of Justice

The Crime Laboratory shall remove a person's DNA record, and destroy any DNA biological samples that may have been retained, from the State DNA Database and DNA Databank within 90 days of receiving the verification form from the prosecuting district attorney, IF the person’s DNA record is not required to be in the State DNA Database under some other provision of law, or is not required to be in the State DNA Database based upon an offense from a different transaction or occurrence from the one which was the basis for the person’s arrest.

The prosecuting district attorney must initiate the verification procedure for expungement within 30 days if the defendant is convicted of a lesser-included misdemeanor offense that is not a listed offense [including first and second degree murder; manslaughter; any offense in Article 7B, Rape and Other Sex Offenses; any offense in Article 10, Kidnapping and Abduction, or Article 10A Human Trafficking; first and second degree burglary; armed robbery; cyberstalking; stalking; child abuse inflicting serious injury; and others, including attempt, solicitation of another to commit, conspiracy to commit, or aiding and abetting another to commit any of the listed violations].

Case Law:

State v. Womble, 858 S.E.2d 304 (2021)

(Statute that did not authorize automatic expunction of DNA records upon pardon of innocence and instead required defendant to petition for expungement was not unconstitutional as applied to defendant, who was charged with murder based, in part, on DNA profile developed from blood sample obtained during incarceration for murder for which he was later found innocent, under state constitution prohibiting deprivation of life, liberty or property but by “law of the land”).

State v. Jacobs, 128 N.C. App. 559 (1998). (“The purpose of the statute is to clear the public record of entries so that a person who is entitled to expunction may omit reference to the charges to potential employers and others, and so that a records check for prior arrests and convictions will not disclose the expunged entries. Neither the statute nor the order of expunction entered at defendant's request requires the destruction of investigative files.”).
