[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So he let himself get swabbed without talking to a lawyer first?

That was stupid.   Innocent or guilty.   That was really stupid.[/quote]

Why?[/quote]

Lots of reasons. He could be getting set up. Perhaps it was co.sensual but woman's spouse found out so she fabricated the assault, etc, etc.[/quote]

But what could a lawyer do? Stall until something else comes up? Can police force someone to get a swab? Or a judge?

If I was accused of anything or asked to do a swab I most definitely would demand to see a lawyer first. I don't think the police can demand you take it. I think they would need a oder from a judge. Refusing does not imply guilt. [/quote]

I wouldn't comply either, even if I knew I didn't do it.  In most (maybe all?) states, the police need probable cause to get DNA from a suspect who is not under arrest.  They can go get a warrant for my DNA if they really want it.  [/quote]

I was in a situation once where something bad happened to someone else. I will not go into details.  I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.  But, I was seen in the vicinity of the attack.   I talked to a lawyer who, upon hearing my story, said he will be happy to take my money, but if what I told him was accurate, I had nothing to fear.   I cooperated with police without a lawyer present. Maybe it was stupid, but I figured if I give them my DNA, I will be ruled out.  Which is what happened -- I was ruled out quickly based on blood types.[/quote]
