The Constitutional Court of Korea has said collecting DNA samples of criminals without their permission is unconstitutional.<br /> Last Thursday, the court ruled that the current DNA law that allows prosecutors to file for a warrant to collect DNA samples of those found guilty of crimes is unconstitutional... because those criminals do not have a say in the issuance process or a chance to raise an objection after the warrant is issued.<br />The court has told the National Assembly to amend the law by the end of next year.<br />The law came into effect in 2010 to help prevent a reoccurrence of crimes such as homicide, rape and arson. <br />
