CODIS is currently used for solving crimes and that’s exactly what it should be used for. When DNA evidence is used, it is much less likely for an innocent person to be convicted. The Combined DNA Index System should be used to put guilty people in jail and to keep innocent people out of jail. It is believed that using CODIS interferes with Fourth Amendment rights of people. The Fourth Amendment of The U.S. Constitution protects people from illegal search and seizure (Fourth Amendment, Title 1). CODIS does not conflict with Fourth Amendment rights because people who are in CODIS previously committed a crime and their DNA is not being taken away from them
