!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([CODIS]) is the [United States] national [DNA] [database] created and maintained by the [Federal Bureau of Investigation] ([FBI]).
[{$pagename}] [{$applicationname}] refers you to Wikipedia: [Combined_DNA_Index_System|Wikipedia:Combined_DNA_Index_System|target='_blank']
!! [Privacy Considerations]
Once the [United States federal government] and many [US State] collects a [DNA] sample—no matter which agency does the collecting—the sample is sent to the [FBI] for storage, and the extracted profile is incorporated into the [FBI]’s massive [CODIS] [database], which already contains over 13 million “offender” profiles (“detainees” are classified as “offenders”).
All [US States] perform collection upon conviction and most perform collection on __felony arrests__ regardless of conviction.
It is next to impossible to get [DNA] expunged from the [database], and once it’s in [CODIS] it is subject to repeated warrantless searches from all levels of [US State] and federal [Law Enforcement Agency]. Those searches have implicated people for crimes they didn’t commit.
