Family Court Can’t Order Teen DNA Scrubbed From NYPD Records, Judge Rules

A Brooklyn judge has ruled that family courts don’t have the power to intervene with the NYPD’s stealthy collection of DNA evidence from minors in its custody — a practice that police officials staunchly defend.

It comes as the state Legislature considers a bill that would ban collecting and storing DNA from youth charged in family court and centralize record-keeping statewide.

In a decision last Wednesday in the Matter of Logan C., Judge Alan Beckoff of Brooklyn Family Court found that he didn’t have the authority to order the city medical examiner to purge a DNA sample collected from a 15-year-old who had been offered a water bottle by a cop at Coney Island’s 60th Precinct.

Nor could Beckoff stop the record of the teen’s DNA from being uploaded to an NYPD databank used in investigations, the judge ruled.
