On the other hand, having heard that even getting a simple blood or saliva sample requires court action, I expect you are once again merely hand-waving.
Remember that saliva samples can be sold to the public as 'as invasive as a fingerprint'.
Actually it is rather common practice for various jails/prisons to take blood samples from everyone who stays long enough to be "processed" (by processed I mean someone who is staying more than a couple of hours waiting for bail). This is done for health reasons (aids, hepatitis, name your disease here, testing), because of this the samples are taken from everyone regardless of the crime accused of or convicted.
What about the folks with religious aversions towards needles? Quarantine?
