“The police were not required to explain to [Holmes] that his blood or hair could be used in prosecutions involving other victims, or that he had a right to refuse consent. [Cits.] Further, like a fingerprint, DNA remains the same no matter how many times blood is drawn and tested and a DNA profile can be used to inculpate or exculpate suspects in other investigations without additional invasive procedures. It would not be reasonable to require law enforcement personnel to obtain additional consent or another search warrant every time a validly-obtained DNA profile is used for comparison in another investigation.”
