“In this case defendant’s blood was obtained pursuant to a warrant for the purpose of DNA testing, and that is the only test ever performed on defendant’s blood_ What defendant is really objecting to is the comparison of his DNA derived from samples taken from victims of crimes other than the one specified in the warrant. We agree with the trial court that “[i]n this respect, DNA results are like fingerprints which are maintained on file by law enforcement authorities for use in further investigations.””
