Discuss the information in the reading regarding the controversial, newer technology known as "Familial DNA." Research this legal issue and present the constitutional debate regarding it. Back up your assertions both for and against its constitutionality. PLEASE BE SURE TO USE MORE THAN 1 REFERENCE AND CITE THEM WHILE ANSWERING ALSO LIST THE REFERENCES DOWN BELOW WHERE YOU PICKED UP THE SOLUTION. BE VERY BRIEF ON EXPLAINING AND EXPLAIN IN OVER 400 W O R D S so I have a better understanding ALSO THE CHAPTER IS DOWN BELOW THAT IS THE READING

88 SAR Section II The Guarantees of the Constitution: Civil Rights and Civil Liberties incidents associated with crime and establishing a process whereby information. be shared to detect and prevent criminal activity, including that associated w domestic and international terrorism, for example, surveillance. The Nationwid Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative (NSI) is a collaborative effort among feder state, local, and tribal government agencies with counterterrorism responsibili that seeks to establish a unified approach at all levels of government to gather, doc ment, process, analyze, and share information about terrorism-related suspicious SARS available to federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies and to state a activities (Nationwide SAR Initiative: Technology Overview, 2012). The NSI makes local major urban area fusion centers. Pilot testing and evaluation of the initiative is cur rently underway at police departments in Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois, Houston, Texas; Miami-Dade, Florida; as well as in the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the New York State Police, the Virginia State Police, and the Washing ton, DC, Metropolitan Police Department (Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) Initiative, 2009). Figure 4.1 illustrates the sharing of SAR information. and Although the information entered into the SAR database is vetted, civil rights advocates have questioned the initiative as another instance of "Big Brother." Familial DNA Database Searches Another relatively recent crime fighting technique is familial DNA analysis. Advances in DNA technology and the develop ment of DNA databases have allowed investigators to search for genetically close matches to help solve crimes committed by relatives of people in the database. Siblings, parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins can be linked to crimes because their relative's DNA closely resembles DNA found at a crime scene.
