This Order is entered under section 165.76 (6) of the Wisconsin Statutes. A copy of that section is attached.
165.76(6)(c)(c) At a hearing on a petition under par. (a), the person has the burden of rebutting the matters established in the petition by demonstrating that he or she is not required to submit a biological specimen under sub. (1). 165.76(6)(d)(d) If the court determines after the hearing under par. (c) that the person is required to submit a biological specimen under sub. (1) and that the person’s specimen is not included in the data bank under s. 165.77 (3), the court shall issue an order to facilitate collection of a biological specimen from the person, which may authorize arrest or detention of the person or use of reasonable force against the person to collect the biological specimen. 165.76 AnnotationWhen officers make an arrest supported by probable cause for a serious offense and bring the suspect to the station to be detained in custody, taking and analyzing a cheek swab of the arrestee’s DNA is, like fingerprinting and photographing, a legitimate police booking procedure that is reasonable under the 4th amendment. In the context of a valid arrest supported by probable cause, the arrestee’s expectations of privacy were not offended by the minor intrusion of a brief swab of the arrestee’s cheeks for DNA. That same context of arrest gives rise to significant state interests in identifying the arrestee not only so that the proper name can be attached to the arrestee’s charges but also so that the criminal justice system can make informed decisions concerning pretrial custody. Upon these considerations, DNA identification of arrestees is a reasonable search that can be considered part of a routine booking procedure. Maryland v. King, 569 U.S. 435, 133 S. Ct. 1958, 186 L.
