If he left a finger print at the scene of the rape, instead of DNA that was entered into IAFIS and came up as a match to the crime when his prints were run be OK? Or would printing him be a violation of his 4rth amendment?
DNA is just a more precise fingerprint IMO.
Had he been arrested on trumped up charges solely in order to get a DNA swab, that would be a violation of his 4rth amendment rights but that wasn't the case.

i'm sorry you're choosing to ignore the fact that his dna was NOT USED FOR ID. an arrest does NOT equal guilty. looking at one man's dna in a dna pool with NO names isn't making sure he's who he says he is. it is looking at all unsolved crimes as a way to create suspicion. much like looking thru phone records is
a way to create suspicion, not confirm. searches are supposed to be performed on people if you have reasonable suspicion they have committed a specific crime.
and kings arrest when they did the dna-resulted in a misdemeanor conviction, not a felony. many states do dna swabs on convicts, not arrestees. that is what it should be in all states.
