Law enforcement, ACLU disagree over merits of DNA taken during arrests

MILWAUKEE- Governor Walker‘s proposal to take DNA samples from subjects in some felony and serious sex-related cases to submit DNA upon arrest is causing some controversy in Wisconsin.

Twenty-five states and the federal government collect DNA from suspects upon arrest. Under Wisconsin law, suspects don‘t have to give up DNA until they‘re convicted or investigators obtain a warrant to seize it.
