For years, the NYPD violated New York State DNA privacy protections by collecting New Yorkers’ DNA secretly, banking children’s DNA without parental permission, and conducting stop-and-spit campaigns in BIPOC communities, DNA dragnets that invade thousands of New Yorkers’ genetic privacy in the hope of stumbling across a single suspect.

Those the NYPD puts in its rogue database become permanent suspects, their DNA scanned thousands of times a year in cases where they have no connection whatsoever.

Every scan is an invitation for injustice, with DNA contamination and laboratory mix-ups driving false arrests and wrongful convictions. Even worse, the NYPD’s experimental DNA techniques may leave many of their claims (and resulting convictions) in doubt.

L^he history of American liberty is far more complicated than most people would at first blush have imagined. Indeed, until Professor Corwin, out of a lifetime of study devoted to American public law, distilled into a volume of modest compass the essential ingredients of American liberty, there was, to my knowledge, no one book to which the citizen might turn to learn its fascinating story. The story starts, as do so many of the great things of life, with the Greeks and the Romans. The wisdom of the political philosophers, ancient and modem, in their search for the foundations of human liberty is presented in its relation to the crucial events of English and American political experience, particularly such great documents as Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the federal Constitution and our State constitutions.
