CA Penal Code Section 299, Limitations on Disclosure (pursuant to the DNA and Forensic Identification Data Base and Data Bank Act of 1998): The best way to have DNA that has been included in a data bank destroyed is if you have not committed a past or prior offense and there is no legal basis [...]
