ACTION ALERT!
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR STATE SENATOR
TO OPPOSE LB 496

LB 496 would allow for police to collect DNA samples upon the arrest of an individual for an arbitrary list of felony crimes. This would allow for the automatic collection of DNA evidence without the state having to show probable cause prior to collecting the sample.

This would give the police authority to collect and compile DNA samples of innocent people without their consent or court order.
This bill will be debated before the full Legislature next Tuesday, January 18 and Wednesday, January 19.

If you oppose such a bill, contact your state senators to urge them NOT TO SUPPORT LB 496!

If you do not know who your state senator is, you can find that out here. https://nebraskalegislature.gov/senators/senator_find.php

If you want to review LB 496, the present version of this bill (it is still being debated) can be found here.https://nebraskalegislature.gov/FloorDocs/107/PDF/AM/ER90.pdf

Congratulations Hicks Law on six years of lawyering! Today is our 6 year anniversary! 🍾🥂⚖️🎉🎊 It's been a long, interesting, and at times exhausting road, but I'm glad I've had the opportunity to be an advocate for others. Hopefully I'm making the world a better place, one billable hour at a time. 😁
