United States Ninth Circuit

California's law that requires all persons arrested for or charged with any felony or attempted felony to submit DNA samples for inclusion in law enforcement databases is constitutional as applied to anyone "arrested for, or charged with, a felony offense by California state or local officials," and therefore the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying a preliminary injunction that would apply to the entire class of plaintiff's challenging the law.
