In reply to Bob M. Hi Bob — I do see that this thread got a little hijacked but I am interested in your original information. Can you tell me what eventually happened with this DNA request?

In reply to Bob m. NO Bob, They can gather DNA when arrested. You were arrested before the law and are not on probation. If you are arrested again you will be required to give DNA, until then it is VOLUNTARY. If they tell you you will be arrested if you don't come in to give DNA, call your lawyer.

I am dissappointed that my post for what I consider a serious issue got lumped together with a post about someone looking for a job. The vaildity of the Volusia Florida Sheriff ad hoc request for a volunteer DNA sample should be an important for ANYONE on the register. So far I see lots of conjecture as to whether its a scam, or “dont worry about it” or ppl citing what the normal procedures are. I know the normal procedures of collectingf DNA at sentencing or incarceration.

I have read the Florida statue on what is SOP and when the Sheriff can gather DMA examples. Floria statute 943.325 if NYONE CARES TO READ IT.

Thanks

In reply to bob m. I am a registered offender in Volusia County. I am NOT on probation so probation rules do not apply.

Just so everyone is informed, I was recently offered employment by two different companies pending passing a background check. The requests to the search companies specifically requested criminal background checks going back 7 years in the case of IKEA and 10 years in the case of FIS (call center doing customer serve for AMEX and other credit card issuers) Both came back “no records found” But wait……you know the rest of the story. They found me on the registry. The company that was doing the search for IKEA even listed the offenses. So NOT REALLY 7 years, eh? I was given a chance to “explain” but we know what happened. Offers withdrawn. At least these clowns went though the actual process. i am convinced that most employers are doing “preliminary background checks” on the internet, etc. without informing the applicants. I was turned down by one of the discount airlines, Allegiant. They were doing a background check, but it was a very specific one required by the DHS that I would have passed because of the time lapsed and the nature of my offense. O f course, I didn’t get the job even though the managers said I had it. I am sure that Southwest did the same thing. I have had the same thing happen a couple of times with the rental car companies, Home Depot, etc. Get thorough multiple interviews and then crickets.

In reply to Bob M. The Florida Statute for DNA collection and disposition is Statute 943.325. I didnt see enything that spcifically related to Volunterring to a DNA submission.

In reply to JoAnne Graham. JoAnne, Thanks for your comments, yes, the Phone number was verified as a sheriff unit within Volusia county Florida. I can find no statute that says that registerd persons in Florida are required to Voluntarily give DNA samples whenever the Sheriff asks for it.

In reply to FAC Membership. I received the call from the sheriff requesting me to voluntarily submit DNA sample. Verified the calling number nby calling back the main ops center number. I am concerned that my DNA will show up at a crime scene since they already collected DNA from me when sentenced.
