How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the primary purpose of a New York statute creating a DNA database was to assist in solving crimes
• holding that DNA analysis “is potentially a far greater intrusion than the initial extraction of DNA, since the state analyzes DNA for information and maintains DNA records indefinitely”
• holding that “drawing blood from inmates ... effects a constitutionally cognizable intrusion on prisoners’ expectation of privacy” and therefore “constitute^] a search implieating the Fourth Amendment” (emphasis added)
• finding that “New York has a strong governmental interest in obtaining identifying information from convicted offenders and keeping a record of such information”
• recognizing the difference between “the physical intrusion required to take a fingerprint and the intrusion required to draw a blood sample is [] constitutionally significant”
• finding that cheek swabs, although constituting a search, are less invasive than blood draws
