If I understood this TV report correctly, Virginia has had a successful law on the books which mandates taking DNA samples from convicted felons. It is successful in that several crimes have been solved when the test results were entered into databases and turned up matches.

The next step is a law which mandates taking DNA samples from anyone ACCUSED of a felony. Am I the only one who sees a conflict between this testing and "presumption of innocence"?

Hopefully, I misunderstood.
