California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Buza, 230 Cal.Rptr.3d 681, 4 Cal.5th 658, 413 P.3d 1132 (Cal. 2018):

3 United States v. Kelly (2d Cir. 1932) 55 F.2 67, 69, which the majority relies on here (maj. opn., ante , 230 Cal.Rptr.3d at pp. 703-705, 413 P.3d at pp. 1151-1152), likewise demonstrates only that fingerprinting is a commonplace means of identificationnot that it is, like DNA collection, a search that implicates an individual's constitutional rights.
