SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- A California state appellate court has defied the U.S. Supreme Court with a ruling tossing out a law requiring DNA collection from everyone arrested for a felony.
"The California DNA Act intrudes too quickly and too deeply into the privacy interests of arrestees," presiding justice J. Anthony Kline wrote for the three-judge panel of the First Appellate District Court of Appeal in San Francisco.
