    Worth noting, with the caveat that how criminals are treated could eventually become how everyone is treated on the right slippery slope:

      Unfortunately the judge also ruled that it’s no different than forcing someone to give their fingerprints when you book them. If this sets a precedent, it could apply to anyone getting arrested, not just parolees / prior convicts.

        Ole Donnie T is technically in parole right now. Would love to see this provision applied in that case.
