The contravery of DNA Collection
I have recently been looking into DNA Analyisis and while i found a lot of information on Gel electrophrisis and how it works i also found some very interesting information on the contraversy behind DNA Analyisis. While nobody realy finds the actual process or results of DNA Analysis (also known a DNA Fingerprinting) contravercial in some cases people find the colection of DNA wrong. For example in several cold case opened up later police have secretly taken samples from subjects in the form of "trash" an example would be a used cigarete butt or spitt on a sidewalk because these sample are considered "trash" they are avalible to the public and the police therefore do not need a warrent to collect them taking and testing these "trash" samples have led several arrests and convictions in cold case files.

The "procedural" process is very important in building a case. Investigators are aware that everything they do will be subjected to cross-examination. So the collection process is critical to sucessful prosecution. Very interesting input on the subject of "trash" DNA. Keep up the good work!
