Is it illegal to take someone's DNA with out their consent

Question

Is it illegal to take someone's DNA with out their consent



Answer

This is not an easy question to answer as there are many scenarios. For example, if you pick up a piece of hair off the ground, then probably not illegal. If you pluck a hair from their head or take a swab of their cheek, then probably illegal. Lots of gray area, so I suggest you contact an attorney to give them more specifics and explain if any of your actions were illegal or not.
