Orange County now is offering to drop charges for people who have only been arrested if they provide a DNA sample. The plan applies to nonviolent misdemeanors such as petty theft, trespassing, and low-level drug possession. Supporters hope the plan will serve as a crime deterrent as well as an investigative tool, while critics charge that it would pressure people to give up their rights by providing a DNA sample without having been convicted. Larry Mantle finds out more about the policy.
