POLICE SEEK VOLUNTARY DNA SAMPLES DURING ARRESTS– February 08, 2008DAYTONA BEACH — If you’re driving down the road drunk and stopped by a police officer here and get arrested, you may be asked to do more than blow into a breathalyzer machine.Police will also want your DNA.
The same thing could happen if you’re arrested for trespassing, littering, indecent exposure or any other crime that prompts a cop to slap a pair of handcuffs on you.
Because starting soon, if someone is arrested by Daytona Beach or several other police agencies, officers will ask suspects whether they would like to give a DNA sample.
The Public Defender’s Office says the lines between voluntarily giving DNA and believing it’s required by law when you’re under arrest are easily blurred.Daytona Beach Police Chief Mike Chitwood, however, is determined.
“We’re going to be swabbing people we arrest,” Chitwood said, referring to the method police will use to obtain voluntary DNA samples from people. “It (the process) will follow all the legal requirements for it to stand up in court.”
Chitwood said he’s anxious to establish a strong DNA database. It would serve police in the case of a serial killer who has murdered four women and in all cases, the chief said.
In their quest for DNA and a suspect in the serial murders, Daytona Beach investigators could literally end up knocking on someone’s door if they receive a legitimate tip about a suspicious person, Chitwood said. Detectives could ask that person to voluntarily give a DNA sample.
If the person refuses and detectives believe there is probable cause, police could obtain a warrant, or employ other investigative tactics, Chitwood said.In the last several weeks, tipsters have called in with the names of dozens of people they believe could be the serial killer, the chief said.
“We have looked at a lot of people,” Chitwood said. “We’ve had some really good information.”
Two weeks ago, Deputy Police Chief Steve Beres sent several police agencies in the area an e-mail asking them to participate in the new initiative and ask for DNA samples from people they arrest in their respective cities.
“After discussion with profilers, there is a good possibility that law enforcement has, or will come in contact with the suspect in the homicides,” Beres wrote in his e-mail message.Most police officials said they would participate in the push but would first consult their legal departments before starting the effort.
“We’ll help Daytona in any way we can,” Daytona Beach Shores Public Safety Director Stephan Dembinsky said.Attached to Beres’ e-mail was a “permission to search” form developed by police and the State Attorney’s Office. Officers are supposed to present the form when requesting DNA.
But regardless of whether people who are arrested allow officers to swab the inside of their cheeks, the plan sounds outrageous to Public Defender James Purdy.
Purdy said the stress brought on by an arrest can cloud a person’s ability to distinguish between a requirement by law and a request by an officer.
“The Legislature states that DNA can only be collected for certain violent offenses,” an angry Purdy said Thursday. “If you’re arrested for drunk driving, do you want to have your DNA on file?”We’re going beyond the invasion of personal liberty,” he said.The perception by most people is that if they don’t voluntarily surrender their DNA to police — or anything else they may ask for — they could get treated differently by an officer, Purdy said.
“If someone refuses to give their DNA, that does not mean they’ve done something,” he said. “Your right to privacy is more important than the government’s need to know.
“I would not give it (DNA) myself,” he said.

I’m doing a copper plated bike right now, and I just did a trike. Bicycle trikes tend to have a geriatric connotation so I did this one all in black with low bars and fat tires, it has the obligatory basket as well, but this basket is only designed to hold a box of Jack Daniels. One for the kids. –Adrian NOTES FROM THE BIKERNET MARRIAGE COUNSELOR– Bob works hard at the warehouse and spends two nights each week bowling and plays golf every Saturday. His wife thinks he’s pushing himself too hard, so for his birthday she takes him to a local strip club. The doorman at the club greets them and says, “Hey, Bob! How ya doin?” His wife is puzzled and asks if he’s been to this club before. “Oh no,” says Bob. “He’s on my bowling team.” When they are seated, a waitress asks Bob if he’d like his usual and brings over a Budweiser. His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and says, “How did she know that you drink Budweiser?” “I recognize her, she’s the waitress from the golf club. I always have a Bud at the end of the 1st nine, honey.” A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her arms around Bob starts to rub herself all over him and says, “Hi Bobby. Want your usual table dance, big boy?” Bob’s wife, now furious, grabs her purse and storms out of the club. Bob follows and spots her getting into a cab. Before she can slam the door, he jumps in beside her. Bob tries desperately to explain how the stripper must have mistaken him for someone else, but his wife is having none of it. She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs, calling him every four-letter word in the book. The cabby turns around and says, “Geez Bob, you picked up a real bitch this time.” –from Bob Sofford SAVE THE DATE J&P CYCLE 29TH ANNIVERSARY OPEN HOUSE–June 28, 2008 (8am-5pm)–SAVE THE DATE NOW!!
