DNA Testing may soon be apart of a regular routine after making an arrest in New Jersey. Gov. Christie is debating whether DNA testing should be added.
DNA testing mandate
This week, New Jersey lawmakers mandated everyone arrested for certain crimes must submit the test to state and federal databases – even if they are not convicted.
Crime from murder to kidnapping can determine if DNA testing needs to be made. Those who refuse the test could face up to 18 months in prison.
Governor Christie has until August 13th to take initiative steps and action on the bill.
The vote on Wednesday attracted little attention. Opponents of the DNA bill said it will be a bad policy. What are your thoughts?
