Senators say they'll bring back DNA bill next year

Senate supporters say they will try again next year to pass DNA legislation, after the House yesterday sustained Gov. Mark Sanford's veto.

"This is a slap in the face to law enforcement in this state," said Sen. Jake Knotts, R-West Columbia, one of the key sponsors of the DNA bill.

The measure would have allowed law enforcement to collect DNA from those convicted of felonies and deposit the information in a statewide data base.

"I'm gonna be like a hunter on a baby dove field -- I'm going to load (the House) up over there on DNA bills," Knotts said

DNA bill is against the constitutional rights and civil rights of every American. I can't wait for the ACLU to make a ton of money off the law suit!
