34. your point is that innocent men have to give DNA samples
But that happens all the time.

It appears that these guys volunteered to have their DNA tested. Could the prosecutor have required them to give DNA evidence? Sure, if he gets an order from the judge requiring it.

In your example, the black guys would have to give DNA samples, fair or not. Would a court order that all black guys at a university submit DNA? Probably not, probably too broad. But players at a party? That is a reasonably definable universe.

DNA will probably help these guys.
