>> this week the state's highest court ruled police are no longer allowed to collect d.n.a. samples when they arrest suspects in violent crimes. the ruling stems from a 2009 case. a man was arrested for assault, so detectives took his d.n.a., which matched him to an unsolved rape case. but the high court said the process violated protections against searches without a warrant. for the a.c.l.u., the decision is a victory. attorneys claim it's unconstitutional to take a schwab for d.n.a. unless someone is found guilty. >> the rights of persons who may be arrested for a crime but not yet convicted are different than the rights of persons who are convicted of a crime. and i think that's exactly as it should be. >> reporter: but the maryland attorney general disagrees and says d.n.a. banking has linked several career criminals to various crimes, a reason he says most states allow it. >> it's obviously an opposite of what every other court in the country, federal and state has found, which is that it is

constitutional, because of course it is. >> reporter: doug ganzler says taking d.n.a. is no different than conducting a strip search, taking blood samples and fingerprints which is all allowed. he plans to fight the court's decision. and ganzer says his next step is to take the case to the u.s. supreme court. ouija jang, w.j.z. >> and a lot at stake here. the state has collected nearly 16,000 d.n.a. samples since 2009. down in prince george's county police have made an arrest in the murder of a pregg woman. 22-year-old nathan rogers was arrested. the woman who was pregnant with his baby was found dead last night in a trunk of a car. police say moss told longers she wanted to keep the baby but he didn't want her to. a former anne arundel county high school teacher convicted of having sex with
