LE explained that if the sample did not match it was immediately discarded & of course could never be used again.
rsbm;
I would really love to see that in writing, and wonder if there are ever legally binding contracts used. LE is allowed to lie- and if sample is entered into CODIS, it is in....
every profession has its bad apples too... giving someone access to something so important is not a decision to be made lightly imo.

"If you agree to provide a DNA sample,you should assume the police will keep it forever and will include your profile in the offender database. Because you have given the sample voluntarily, you may not be eligible for your state’s procedure to have the sample expunged. If you have any concerns about giving a sample voluntarily, you should tell the police that you wish to talk with a lawyer about the consequences of providing a sample before you decide whether to give one. Although the police may be suspicious of your refusal, they cannot obtain a warrant based only on that refusal."
"While law enforcement officials may promise to destroy samples after testing, there is no way to determine if the evidence has in fact been destroyed. After a DNA dragnet of over 1,000 men in Louisiana failed to find a match to the suspect’s genetic profile, law enforcement officers entered the local men’s DNA profiles into the state’s criminal database. Some individuals have sued, usually without success, to have their DNA profiles removed and biological samples destroyed."
