Convicted Hacker Adrian Lamo Refuses to Give Blood

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday May 13, 2006 @03:19AM from the not-so-juicy-cases dept.

CaliforniaCCW writes "Hopefully everyone here remembers the case of Adrian Lamo, a so-called 'gray hat' hacker who plead guilty to one count of computer crimes against Microsoft, Nexis-Lexis and the New York Times in 2004. He got a felony conviction, six months detention in his parents' home, and two years of probation. Today, as a condition of his probation, he must provide a sample of his DNA in the form of a blood sample, something which he has refused to do. Should convicted felons on probation have privacy rights over their DNA? Or is a blood sample like a fingerprint, something that everyone should provide to their government?"

Perhaps it's just those bloodsuckers in the government wanting to satisfy their craving for blood? And not just from convicts, but from everyone.
