I sit down with Ian Cameron from Action Society SA to chat about the recent implementation of Section 36D of the Criminal Law (Forensics Procedures Act). The proclamation of this legislature will enforce the compulsory DNA sampling of offenders arrested on any schedule 8 offence, this sampling was not mandatory in the past. Schedule 8 offenders include rapists and murderers. The proclamation of Section 36D was published in the Government Gazette on 13 January 2022 and will take effect from 31 January 2022.
