“According to utahpoliticalcapitol.com, the state legislator in Utah is advancing legislation to allow law enforcement officers to take DNA samples from suspects at the time of booking for any felony offense. Currently, Utah takes DNA from a prisoner after they have been convicted of a felony. Amendment HB 212 is written in a way that would allow the State to forcibly take DNA from anyone booked for a felony offense all the way back to January 1, 2011. The amendment also allows the DNA of minors over the age of 14 to be confiscated and filed in a national database. The House voted on Tuesday to approve the bill 43-28.”
