Protect the privacy of your DNA

DNA contains a person's most private information. Proposed legislation would require mandatory collection of your DNA upon arrest, even if you are never charged or convicted. In America, our Constitution guarantees your right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Collecting DNA from the innocent will do nothing to make us safer. Tell your legislators that you oppose this unwarranted expansion of government power.

Expanding the collection and indefinite storage of DNA would be a costly and ineffective approach to solving crimes. Moreover, it would tempt the government to use people's DNA for ever-expanding purposes. Contact your legislator today!
