Madison, Wisc. – Starting April 1st, felons will no longer be the only ones in the state of Wisconsin to have their DNA forcibly taken. The state is expanding its DNA collection regime to include ALL criminal misdemeanor convictions.
The new law being implemented is expected to exponentially increase the number of samples being analyzed in Madison. The current number of DNA profiles created, from the felons’ samples, ranges from 10,000-12,000 per year.
Jaywalking is considered an infraction, but in some jurisdictions, it is a misdemeanor or a class A felony and may require a court appearance.

The would have one hell of a time getting DNA from me just for a misdemeanor. I would have to give them a good felony reason to take it.
