“As with other recent court decisions involving the Fourth Amendment’s ‘right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,’ the justices split in an unusual fashion. In his dissent, Scalia wrote that the majority’s attempts to justify the use of DNA as an identification tool ‘taxes the credulity of the credulous.’ He added, ‘Make no mistake about it: As an entirely predictable consequence of today’s decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national DNA database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason.'”
