IANAL, but you normally would need probable cause to collect DNA from someone if you want to use it as evidence. There would be probable cause to collect someone's DNA if they have an outstanding warrant. No such probable cause exists for a rape victim. > She would never have been charged or prosecuted if she weren’t robbing people. Innocent people are charged and prosecuted all the time. Otherwise there would be no need for a trial.
