Is it legal to collect DNA evidence from a suspect without either a warrant or consent, in the US?

Sounds like they used data that was explicitly publicly available on GEDmatch, used that to track down someone with a partial match to their DNA sample, identified male relatives of teh right age range who lived around Sacramento, and then got DNA off some chewing gum or a cigarette butt to confirm their culprit.There's a good chance this was entirely legal, especially if they got the cooperation of the relative on GEDmatch. I'm sure we'll be hearing a LOT more about this in the coming weeks though...Patrik
