Should I be worried?

What recourse would you have?

ORLY? I hadn't heard that one.
In order to do that they would need your blood. That kind of blood has stuff in it that keeps it fresh, so they would be able to test it and they would know it was planted.

Or semen.

If they take your DNA along with your fingerprints on arrest, and if the courts find you innocent, you should be able to expunge your DNA record like your prints.

Yeah, and would it be hard for anyone to believe a male dwellar might leave semen at the scene of a crime?

I imagine there are the same kind of problems with semen collection. I'm not saying it can't be done, but if someone wanted to set someone else up, it wouldn't be the police doing it. Do you know how many people would have to be involved to do that?

I imagine the way they would make a DNA database is not by keeping samples of semen laying around in a vault somehwere, ya know? They probably take a swab from your mouth, and then put the results in a database. I doubt they keep any blood samples or any other kind of samples either.

People who are actually arrested for pot and taken to booking will be required to give DNA in some states.

I just finished watching that movie, Eagle Eye. This is creeping me out.

See Dana, I'm the exact opposite. I worry a LOT more about the spying and snooping stuff.
