Andre Brian McGriff v. Florida

The crime scene was a residence. DNA was located at the scene. The DNA was run through a Combined Data Index System (“CODIS”). There was a DNA hit, but the hit was not confirmed as required by the NDIS CODIS manual. This DNA result was used as the sole basis for probable cause for a warrantless arrest of Petitioner. The question is: Whether Petitioner was deprived of his rights under the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments, where he was arrested and taken into custody without a warrant and where probable cause for the arrest was based on an unconfirmed CODIS hit?
