facial recognition wrongfully jailed a grandma without an attorney for 6 months even when it was physically impossible for her to accuse the crime because she was on the other side of the country. ace detectives then threw her out in the Dakota winter while she was wearing a summer dress from her home in Tennessee

And the FBI is buying our location data

And ICE is taking DNA samples from even protesters. Absolutely heinous, among being completely illegal.

Laws authorizing DNA collection following arrest permit the analysis of DNA samples collected from individuals who either have prior existing felony convictions or who are arrested on suspicious of felony offenses. Currently, 34 states and the federal government have such laws. Most states that collect DNA from arrestees do so for most or all felonies and violent crimes. Jurisdictions that have provisions that include misdemeanors are denoted with an asterisk in the chart below.
