Supreme Court of Illinois

Conviction for burglary and theft is affirmed over constitutional challenges to defendant's warrantless arrest and the statute that mandates DNA sampling of convicted felons where: 1) the facts established probable cause for the defendant's arrest; and 2) because the defendant could not show that the DNA sampling statute was invalid as applied to him, he necessarily could not mount a facial challenge to it.
