Judge Milan Smith may not have the final word on California's controversial DNA collection law.
The Ninth Circuit on Wednesday announced that Haskell v. Harris — the challenge to Prop 69's felony DNA swab law — will go en banc. Earlier this year, a split panel led by Smith found the measure that requires swabbing all felony arrestees comported with the Fourth Amendment. That conflicted with a state court of appeal opinion from 2011, and drew a lengthy dissent from his liberal colleague, Judge William Fletcher.
"We have never allowed the compulsory taking of DNA samples from mere arrestees," Fletcher's dissent said. "We should not begin now." A visiting senior judge from Tennessee, James Dale Todd, was the swing vote.
The Ninth Circuit has posted key filings in the case here.


Like the 9th cir is going to change reality! The OC DA Office overcharges (what no) then offers a plea to misdeameanors that includes a DNA SAMPLE. Think thats bad (state bar where are you) the OCSD arrest individuals for felonies then take a DNA sample at IRC and later (within 48hrs) OCDA drops to charges to misdeameors which are accepted in pleas. Nice gig right? Like brother and sister sleeping together and not acknowledging its wrong.

I can't help but seeing mandatory DNA swabbing as being an affront on civil liberty. Forget the fourth amendment - what about the first one!
