In reply to Gary.

So, somebody just tried to scam me by phone call, trying to pass himself off as a Brevard County Sheriff detetective, telling me I had an outstanding warrant for not updating my DNA.

He called from a number in my area code : ‭(321) 209-8095‬.

He was fairly convincing at first until I asked him to let me call him back on the official department phone number.

In reply to Jacob. Only if it was part of your sentencing or if the law required it at sentencing.

I had to submit to DNA testing many years ago while on probation. Though I live in Florida, mine was a federal offense. I read your email relative to this matter, and am unsure if I must submit to another DNA sampling now. Any replies are most welcome!

I advise everyone to be careful with your DNA.

http://flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2019/920/BillText/c1/PDF

If DNA is found ANYWHERE and it matches your profile in a DNA database, you are fu¢ked!

“The Legislature also finds that upon establishment of the Florida DNA database, a match between casework evidence DNA samples from a criminal investigation and DNA samples from a state or federal DNA database of certain offenders may be used to find probable cause for the issuance of a warrant for arrest, or to obtain the DNA sample from an offender.”

By now, we all know who “certain offenders” are.

Imagine you are cutting your fingernails somewhere and that area becomes a crime scene. Guess what, they’re coming for you.

In reply to Jacob.

If you are on probation or newly arrested count on giving the sample.
If you’ve not been newly arrested and are not on probation – no need to volunteer.

So I was arrested in 2013 for CP and they never took my DNA and once the SPOT officer came to the house “Not saying this was a volunteer sample”, since I didn’t have anything to hide, I gave them my dam DNA, can I get the officer in trouble since she said “they never took my sample in court when I was arraigned” and they need it now. Or did I just f*** up and handed them my DNA…this is bulls*** and I just see that other states are handling business and getting laws thrown out and we seem to just be going backwards and letting the State of FL keep on f***ing us….Cant we just join together and protest the hell out of Tallahassee in mass numbers just like the old days and forced them to make change…Can we just get every SO in the state to sign a petition for change…I mean something has to be done and yet nothing is being done to make an impact….WE NEED TO MAKE AN IMPACT!!!!

So, if you have a felony sex offense from 1991 but were released from prison in 1999 and are not on probation anymore, you do not need to give a DNA sample, correct?

I don’t understand the how it is voluntary ” when all sex offenders and predators have a felony conviction. Did you actually read the conditions FAC, or am I missing something?

Please read the rule, “Convicted of and felony offense or attempted felony offense in this state or of a similar offense in another jurisdiction;”

How is this voluntary when most members are all convicted felons?
