There is an interesting article published by the Florida Senate regarding ” Evidence Preservation for Postsencing DNA Testing – Reassessing Current Stautatary Requirements in Section FS 925.11″

It discusses the issues of DNA collection and retention.

Reply to MT.
There are strict procedures that agencies have to follow to keep track of DNA. Its would be BS for them to claim that they lost DNA and have to regather it. Its a customary procedure to keep a “Chain of CUSTODY” document which is signed by each person who has this custody.

Does anyone know what the repercussions are for agencies to just loose track of DNA?

No one has mentioned worrying about what happened to previously taken DNA Samples. ARE THEY LOST ?

I am worried about what happened.

Law enforment PPL are supposed to keep a “CHAIN OF CUSTODY” document which lawfully tracks where your sample is at any given time. DOES FDLE follow these procedures? Where are my past DNA Samples. Can FDLE tell me if they have lost them.?

My offense was back in 1993. It was indicated to me by the detective that it was voluntary. However if I refused, FDLE would obtain a court order to obtain my DNA. It is confusing to understand why I have to participate in this after 26 years after the offense. Part of my plea agreement, which was adjudication withheld was not a requirement to give a DNA sample 26 years after the fact.

It looks like to me that its simply possible they have either lost or corrupted the dna from a certain segment of offenders. It looks like cases from the late 1990’s. That is also wen my case was from. Its possible they are just trying to get the lost dna back into the database. Thats an intetesting scenario for them though. How do they get it back without violating our rights? Play mean cop or nice cop? It looks like they are trying both methods. They were nice to me about it and told me up front it was voluntary.

My 29 year service ended 28 years ago. I may have given a sample on active duty, I can’t remember if I did or didn’t. I probably did for identification purposes in case I ‘caught a bullet’. Whether I did or didn’t, I will no longer give one. I am moving on with my life. Thank you TS for the info. We all need to take a stand…enough is enough.

So he threatened you with detention and arrest if you didn’t volunteer?
If anyone was detained and given a blood test, please let us know. We would love to kickstart that lawsuit!

For clarification, they are not asking every person for a DNA sample. FDLE provided a list of those missing samples in the FDLE database. I understand in Volusia County there were about 30 persons identified and majority of those were cases from 1995-1996 timeframe. If those individuals completed sanctions some 20 years ago….they should be submitting petition to be removed from the registry!
