Het protestvan groepen DNA- inzamelingswet

Vrijdag, 5 September, 2008

Wetgevende Zwarte Caucus en gisteren gekritiseerde burgerrechten de activisten Regering Martin O' Malley' s- plan voor het ten uitvoer leggen van een nieuw programma om de steekproeven van DNA van misdaadverdachten te verzamelen, die het beleid beschuldigen van het draaien van zijn rug op hard-fought compromissen voor beschermingen en onoplettendheid.

O' Malley maakte DNA één van zijn prioriteiten factureren dit jaar en werkte hard om passage van de wetgeving in de Algemene Vergadering van Maryland - maar slechts na significante veranderingen tijdens lange onderhandelingen, in het bijzonder met Zwarte Caucus te winnen. De wet verzoekt dat de steekproeven van DNA worden genomen uit die belast met hevige misdaden en burglary; eerder, werden de steekproeven genomen slechts na een overtuiging.

De politie van de Staat van Maryland gaf de voorgestelde verordeningen uit om de wet vorige maand ten uitvoer te leggen. Maar de zorgen van wetgevers hebben het Paritaire Comité voor Administratief, Uitvoerend en Wetgevend Overzicht ertoe aangezet om een greep op de verordeningen te zetten. De commissie heeft niet het gezag om de verordeningen ten val te brengen, maar het zoekt vaak tweaks tijdens de afkondiging van regels.

Belangrijke zwarte wetgevers, de Amerikaanse Burgerlijke Unie van Vrijheden, Nationale Vereniging voor de Vordering van Gekleurde Mensen en het bureau van de staats openbare verdediger zegt de voorgestelde verordeningen garanderen niet dat de steekproeven van DNA slechts wanneer iemand met een misdaad is belast, eerder dan op het tijdstip van arrestatie worden genomen zoals het geval onder taal die oorspronkelijk door O' Malley wordt voorgesteld zou geweest zijn. Zij zeggen ook de verordeningen voldoende op toegang tot de steekproeven van DNA of procedures voor expungement geen betrekking hebben, die worden vereist wanneer iemand niet wordt veroordeeld.

„ik werkelijk daag het beleid van O uit' Malley om vooruit te komen en hun kaarten op de lijst te zetten,“ bovengenoemd Sen. Verna L. Jones, een lid van de Democraat van Baltimore en caucus. „Als zij niet met ons eerlijk en eerlijk gingen zijn, zouden zij niet in onderhandelingen met ons net ervoor te zorgen moeten geweest zijn dat de wetgeving.“ overgegaan werd

O' Malley zei zijn beleid om het even welke suggesties zou onderhouden om de verordeningen te veranderen. De democratische gouverneur had verdedigd de uitbreiding van het DNA- gegevensbestand als misdaadbestrijdend hulpmiddel maar woeste bezwaren in de wetgevende macht tegengekomen, waar sommigen zeiden het ongrondwettig zou zijn en rassenbias in het misdadige rechtvaardigheidssysteem zou verergeren omdat het gegevensbestand hoofdzakelijk uit informatie over Afrikaans-Amerikanen en Latinos zou bestaan.

„Wij stemmen in met de input van Zwarte Caucus. Wij stemmen in met de input van ACLU,“ O' bovengenoemde Malley. “And we also welcome the ability that local enforcement will have to solve violent crimes, to solve murders and rapes, and to lock up people for very long periods of time once we have a case on them.”

It is unclear whether substantial changes will be made to the regulations. Kristen Mahoney, head of the Governor’s Office of Crime Control and Prevention, disputed many of the issues raised by activists and emphasized that the administration would have no reason to circumvent the compromise provisions it agreed to during the General Assembly session.

“At some point, the ACLU and public defender needs to work with what the General Assembly passed rather than continuing to object to this. They just don’t like the law. That’s what this is,” Mahoney said. “And they are looking in every corner to take this tool away from law enforcement.”

The dispute could escalate. Lawmakers and activists called for hearings on the proposed regulations and threatened to sue if the administration doesn’t make changes. They argue that the proposed regulations fail to follow the spirit and letter of the newly enacted law, and in particular the negotiated provisions that were meant to limit potential abuses.

The critics contend the regulations do not explicitly address procedures for expungement from federal databases or how to prohibit familial searches that could give rise to racial profiling with DNA collected by the state when it is uploaded to the federal level. They also say the regulations invite excessive force by police officers by not defining the “reasonable force” that can be used in collecting samples.

But Mahoney said those concerns are unfounded. She said that when records are expunged from the state database, they are automatically deleted from the federal database, and she noted that Maryland regulations can’t be applied to the federal government. She also said that “reasonable force” is defined in case law and insisted that the regulations limit the taking of DNA samples to suspects who have been charged.

A number of problems with the state’s crime labs have surfaced in recent years. Last month, the Baltimore Police Department’s crime lab director was dismissed after revelations that analysts had contaminated evidence with their own DNA. A few years earlier, officials say, police practices and disorganization at the lab led to contamination and unreliable gunshot residue test results.

The legislature approved a bill in 2007 to bolster oversight of crime labs, and O’Malley is expected to appoint members to a forensic advisory board by the end of the year. While the board is expected to have support from existing state staff, lawmakers yesterday said the governor needs to step up oversight efforts not only in response to past problems but also as the database grows.

Sen. Delores G. Kelley, a Baltimore County Democrat, said, “We need to have staff and experts go out and certify to the public that we are not a kangaroo court with regard to the way we run forensic labs.”
