An Indiana law passed in July 2005 granted the Indiana State Police permission to make a DNA database for all convicted felons in Indiana’s 92 counties.
According to state law IC 10-13-6, Indiana may “establish a database of DNA identification records of convicted felons, crime scene specimens, unidentified missing persons and close biological relatives of missing persons.”
This means anyone convicted of a felony after July 2005 will have to submit his or her DNA for the database, said Tippecanoe County Chief Probation Officer Kipp Scott.
Previously, only people convicted of felonies involving violent crimes or burglaries were were required to register with the state’s DNA database, according to The Associated Press. But this new law includes nonviolent felons as well.
Last week, officials in Tippecanoe County started collecting DNA samples from convicted felons in the community. The Tippecanoe County Probation Department sent 1,503 letters to felons to let them know about the collection, which occurred Saturday at the Tippecanoe fairgrounds, according to the AP. Of the 1,503 felons who were sent letters, only 612 showed up to submit samples.
Despite less than half of the felons showing up, Scott said the turnout was pretty good.
State starts to collect DNA samples from convicted felons
(Just getting my feelings out about PE, ok?) I "think" I understand part of what you are asking. I know NG Show, she always says, "Nothing good happens after midnight...." But, I can not forget the victim had a flat tire or two flat tires. Could have hit a curb, or object purposely placed in the road. So far, we only have the supposed FB ramblings of someone considering ending their life. I think even in the end, he could not take responsibility for his actions and had the audacity to blame it on alcohol. As reported, with DOUBLE CONFIRMATION....he assaulted that poor woman. She tried to get away, he got into a vehicle, followed her to another location and kidnapped her! ERRRGGGhhh. I'm feeling my BP rise even typing this out. (Mr. IQ's greatest lament is that I am "too sensitive." How can I not be? Life is precious.) It could have been anyone's daughter driving home late at night or going to the aid of a sick relative. Does he look like the "BG" in the video? Yeah, probably because of his nose and the "short neck"... but so do hundreds of other men I have seen in the area. I don't think anything the public said or LE did caused him to take his life...that was his choice. After his statements of wanting women with "green eyes" and O positive blood that he can identify by smell.......oh brother!!!! He may have nothing to do with other crime.... I don't know. But he scared the beejeebees out of me.
