Is there a law requiring anyone convicted of a felony to supply DNA to a probation officer?

Yes.  Provisions of California Penal Code 296 require certain people to provide a DNA sample.  Those people include anyone convicted of a new felony offense, arrested on a felony charge, or previously convicted of a "qualifying" felony upon reporting to probation, parole or law enforcement.  The DNA is uploaded to a DNA database where it can be accessed by law enforcement and comparted to DNA samples from crime scenes, etc.

No you can't, at least not in most states.  It's illegal to employ a felon in the health field

I think you need to be more specific in your question.  For example, a convicted felon can acquire a driver's license in Texas.  On the other hand, they wouldn't be able to have a job in the banking industry.\n\nJames R. Rummel

ofcourse, using any other Body cell. every cell has DNA

That would be a violation of HIPPA, which provides protection for our medical records. I do believe that law enforcement officials can search for DNA matches of those who have given samples, but civilians cannot and, I believe, should not be able to. Your DNA is similar to those you are related to: your mother, father, siblings. Humans also share basic DNA sequences.

Not quite, but there is the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001....\n\nhttp://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2001/20010016.htm

No... You committed no crime, and unless you suspect that the item in question was connected to a felony there is no requirement to hand it it.

===========\nIndiana Code IC 35-41-4-2\n\nPeriods of limitation\n\n(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a prosecution for an offense is barred unless it is commenced:\n\n(1) within five (5) years after the commission of the offense, in the case of a Class B, Class C, or Class D felony.\n===========\n\nNote: However, if a Class B or Class C felony that would be barred from prosecution under the section above involves the use of DNA to establish the identity of the offender, prosecution may be commenced within ONE year of the earlier date that the state either (1) first discovers the offender's identity using DNA evidence, or (2) could have discovered the offender's identity using DNA evidence if due diligence was used.

Your friend can request for a hearing before the judge and discuss this matter.  The probation officer probably had your friend sign a statement indicating that they had violated their probation to make it easier for revocation of the probation.

i think that anytime you do anything you should have both your fingerprint and DNA recorded, the bigger the database the larger chance of criminals being caught. even for little things like traffic tickets - at least that way there is a real database. The only people who can be caught are those whose DNA is already on record; or the police have to go and get the DNA. That would bring in the whole: Do they really need to take my DNA for a parking ticket but  the general populace should have nothing to fear - unless they are planning to do something wrong. It would just make us safer and better able to put the right people behind bars.

The rules vary in every state, so it is hard to give you a definite answer but if you visit the appropriate state forum at http://www.prisontalk.com someone will be able to tell you exactly what the rules are and how to get this done.\nGood luck

Check with the state parole board.\n\nGenerally, the information is confidential, unless you are a prospective employer, and/or the parolee signs a waiver.\n\nWhat is your reason for wanting to contact the parole officer? Do you suspect that the parolee violated his parole, or commited a crime?

Yes, I think about how many people over the past 5 years who have been released from prison because DNA proved them innocent.  I bet there are hundreds of people in time, maybe even executed, for crimes they did not commit.

Yes, from what i hard it is really hard for anyone convicted of a felon to even get a job that requires a background check. No it is not discrimination because when you hire someone you want to be able to trust them. You wouldn't want an armed robber to handle cash at a bank would you?

If you haven't been convicted, you don't have a crime.\n\nI've known convicted felons who have served as probation officers after they've served their sentences and been released and accumulated a good record of community involvement and service. Parole officer, I'm sure, has much stricter guidelines.\n\nThis is such a state-by-state, county-by-county position that no one answer can be definitive. I would recommend talking to a local judge for his view on this, and possibly his sponsorship toward these positions.
