KY: DNA testing of juvenile offenders constitutional

By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

DNA testing of juvenile offenders was reasonable under the Fourth Amendment. Petitioner F. v. Brown, 2010 Ky. LEXIS 70 (March 18, 2010). Officers responding to a trouble call at a hotel room heard an argument in another hotel room and somebody yelling trying to get out. They could investigate the situation under exigent circumstances. Daniel v. State, 2010 Ga. App. LEXIS 264 (March 18, 2010).* Officer’s mistake as to who likely committed the crime in the residence did not nullify the probable cause for the premises. State v. Rodriguez-Santiago, 2010 Iowa App. LEXIS 192 (February 24, 2010).* Flight from a car stopped by the police or disabled is an abandonment. Watkins v. Commonwealth, 2010 Ky. LEXIS 60 (March 18, 2010).
