The Constitutionality of Taking DNA Reference Sample

Abstract

This paper focuses on the opinions of constitutional courts in the Federal Republic of Germany, United States of America, Canada, the Czech Republic, and the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland on taking references samples for DNA tests from a suspect (an accused). The inconsistency of Polish regulations referring to the DNA analysis is the main object of criticism.
