I am not worried I am innocent. I volunteered my DNA, but scared I will be framed if I give my DNA sample to police. Police said case will be dropped if I give the DNA sample and it does not match. What are my right please advise me.

If you had refused they would have gotten a Court order for the DNA, but because you volunteered the DNA you can't complain. This is a question you should give to your attorney not to us here on Y! answers

During a police investagtion, yes they can. But there are States that demand DNA even if the crime was not warrent for DNA sample. Lets take Arkansas, Bill Clinton Land. The police can take a DNA, even if you arrested for child support, which in the law eyes, is not a crime at all. But Dead Beat Dads, get DNA taken from them and then put in jail...For what? so they can plant everance on you if they need to solve some crime to get a promation?
Now the jails have to make room for more DEAD BEAT DADS and let out the child molester and a muderer. Believe me, Most Correction Officers are not happy with this.
What a country we have..WHY?? Rememeber, this is a capitaish country, all those Demostic Officers and Judges don't want to lose their great paying jobs or retirement package, so they have make Child Support is a real big problem. So put the Dads in jail, let the kids think that Dad is a bad person, and the world will be a better place....haha..Goverment should take a drug test..
First of all...How does putting the Ex Daddy in jail goin to solve anything? How about this...put the Dead Beat Dad in Work Release, make him pay child support and also pay rent for being in work release. Two great thing happen here, one the court can make some money by the Dads paying rent instead of the tax payer by keeping the Dads in jail. Two and most important, the kids won't think that Dad is a Bad person.
Now the Kids can get the money that they deserve, and it teaches the Dads to be responable for their children. But we have Crack Heads in Goverment making the worse out of a bad problem. I know that this doesn't really answer your question, but today it is small thing and tomorrow goverment will make this country a living hell to live in.

If you know you are innocent then you have nothing to worry about.However it usually takes a court order to get a DNA sample not an order by the police.Consulting a pro bona lawyer would cost nothing and most lawyers will give a free consultation.Police can make no deals with you,only by going through the court can a deal be offered and usually through the district attorneys office.Never make a "deal" with the police.Anything you say or do through them can be used against you in court afterwards.

Collection of DNA evidence is considered to be an invasive procedure requiring a warrant unless you voluteer that evidence, which you did. Because you volunteered the evidence, you cannot later complain that it was collected without a warrant. In other words, you waived your constitutional rights. If the investigators, police department and district attorney are honest and honorable, then your innocence will be discovered by the lack of a DNA match and you will be removed from suspicion. I have discovered in my career that the police and prosecutors are not all honest and will adjust the evidence to arrange the conviction they are after. Hopefully, that will not be your experience in this matter.

That is why they have attorney's if you know you didn't commit the crime then you should be fine. Sounds like you volunteered your DNA, if my knowledge of the law is correct which i believe it is, they do need a court order. It is to late now for you to complain about it because you stated right here that you gave it volunteeringly. Good Luck if you are innocent, if not you better start asking your questions to the Lord.

You just gave up your rights "J". You consented to give dna, but without your consent yes they would have to get a court order. Stop talking to them and get an attorney, they really aren't your friend so stop playing dangerous games. The burdon of proof is on them so the less you say the better off you are, especially if your innocent. Keep your kool and keep your mouth SHUT>

you're over reacting right here. you at the prompt are not difficulty to a existence of genetic surveillance in the first position. It ability your pattern sits on a knowledge base and may there be a criminal offense dedicated the position DNA information is provided, yours may nicely be compared to the pattern. yet until eventually you probably did the crime, why problem about it? the position in the structure do you discover this correct to no longer have a Q-tip stuck on your mouth?

To answer your question, no they can not. They must go to a judge and get a court order for your D.N.A. But since you volunteered and you say you are innocent why worry?

They can ask, not demand.
Only a court can order a DNA sample if you do not consent.
