Today, the USSC has decided that it is fine for police to take your DNA as a standard arrest procedure. While in the case immediately before the court, it did uphold a rape conviction, which Maryland's court of appeals had overturned on the basis that there was no reason to suspect the person; this decision is going to do law enforcement more harm than good.

It has been standard practice for years to take DNA from convicted felons, and see if they can be tied to any other crimes. However, if people have to worry about being swabbed for running a red light, it may increase the chance of public endangerment from people fleeing authorities.
