New Oklahoma laws in 2016 Part VII – Collection of DNA for felony arrests

If you’re arrested for a felony in Oklahoma, your DNA will now be taken. Simple as that!

Although I’m not a fan of the government having more information on us, I know that the collection of DNA in this manner has exonerated many people who have been wrongly convicted. So, I hope this law helps more people than it harms by the intrusion into our liberty.

The enacted legislation: HB 2275.

The primary statute: 22 OS § 210.

If you or anyone you know has been arrested —

Don’t panic! Call Urbanic.
