Here’s what they say on their website

The Michigan State Police (MSP) is committed to protecting the privacy of your potentially personally identifiable data (PPID) in a strong and meaningful manner. Our privacy policy is designed to inform both members of the public and our employees about the PPID information we collect, how we use it, how we maintain it in our systems, under what circumstances you may access or correct your own information, and what we may disclose to others.

Biometric Identification Information

MSP may collect and use your biometric Information, including (but not limited to): fingerprint images, palm print images, iris images, digital images captured during your arrest or booking, and descriptive data associated with all images, identifying marks, scars, amputations, and tattoos, for identification and investigative purposes.

It may also require submission of biometric information for employment purposes. This information is protected, retained, and used in compliance with the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Records Act, Act 289 of 1925. This act also allows for data sharing between interstate, national, and international systems for criminal identification purposes.

Biometric Information may also be submitted voluntarily for specific programs, such as for identification of individuals with special health care needs, per the Fingerprinting Residents of this State Act, MCL 28.274.

DNA identification profile information may be collected, analyzed, indexed, and retained by MSP, as specified in the DNA Identification Profiling System Act, Act 250 of 1990. This act allows DNA profiles to be used for law enforcement identification purposes or to assist in the recovery or identification of human remains or missing persons. If personal identifiers are removed, it may also be used or shared for academic, research, statistical analysis, or protocol development purposes.

The following notice will be given to all individuals who provide a DNA sample (MSP FORM BID-016):

At the time a DNA sample is taken, please be advised:

(a) That, except as otherwise provided by law, your DNA sample or DNA profile, or both, shall be destroyed or expunged, as appropriate, if the charge for which the sample was obtained has been dismissed or resulted in acquittal, or no charge was filed within the limitations period.

(b) That your DNA sample or profile, or both, will not be destroyed or expunged, as appropriate, if MSP determines you are otherwise obligated to submit a sample or if it is evidence relating to another individual that would otherwise be retained under MCL 28.176.

(c) That the burden is on the arresting law enforcement agency and the prosecution to request the destruction or expunction of a DNA sample or profile as required under MCL 28.176, not on you.

KOMORN LAW (248) 357-2550

Don’t talk to the police before, during or after your Miranda rights have been read without a lawyer present. If you do limit your information because what you say locks you into what you said. Just because you are not under arrest or being detained does not mean what you say will not be used against you.

Here is some information to review.

Don’t worry, a copy of your DNA has not been sent off to the Government Mountain Storage Facility for permanant storage out of view, or has it?
