found that, in a search i just did (after that great hockey game, of course) from '05.
as for fingerprints and me being ok with them--i'm not sure when they started using and filing them, but probably before my time. guess it's something i never thought about, til now.
dna is supposed to be removed if there's no charges, or they're exonerated-as the article above says fingerprints are supposed to be...but like the above says, that doesn't always happen.
i feel like this is just a more invasive way of search/seizure. i guess i also didn't realize til reading about the ruling that states collected dna at arrest, not conviction (arkansas collects at conviction).
