Trump can still vote after sentencing, but can't own a gun and will have to turn over DNA sample
Source: Associated Press
Does he have to give a DNA sample?
By law, every person convicted of a felony in New York must provide a DNA sample for the states crime databank.
Samples are collected after sentencing, typically when a defendant reports to probation, jail or prison. Samples can also be taken by a court or police official.
Its a noninvasive process involving a swab along the inside of the cheek. State police analyze the cells and genetic material, creating a profile that is then entered into the databank.
There, technology takes over, performing automatic searches and comparing profiles of people convicted of crimes with profiles of DNA collected at crime scenes. Matches can be used to identify a suspect in an unsolved crime.
New Yorks databank contains profiles for more than 720,000 offenders and is connected to the FBIs Combined DNA Index System.

(37,853 posts)Florida Restoration of Gun Rights
Restoration of Gun Rights in Florida requires an application with the Board of Clemency. In Jacksonville, Florida, a convicted felon does not have certain civil rights, including the right to possess or use guns, firearms, or ammunition. Typically, a Florida resident has the right to own firearms (guns), right to vote, serve on a jury, hold public office, and obtain an occupational license. However, if you are a Florida resident and a convicted felon, you probably lost the right to purchase or possess a firearm (gun). Even if you have had your civil rights restored, the right to own guns or firearms is different.
So, how do I get my gun rights back in Florida? Is there a solution to getting your firearms rights restored in Florida? YES, a convicted felon in Florida may be able to regain their firearms rights. Restoring your firearms rights will permit you to own, possess, and purchase guns in Florida or other states. In Florida, restoration of your firearms rights is a type of clemency. Restoring your gun rights or obtaining a Pardon in Florida requires a application to be filed for the restoration of your gun rights or pardon. The restoration and / or pardon must be filed with the Florida Office of Executive Clemency.
How Much Does it cost to restore gun rights in Florida.
We charge a $495 to determine your eligibility for restoration of gun rights. If after reviewing the eligibility for the restoration of your firearms rights, we determine that your record determines that you qualify, we only charge an additional $1195 to prepare and file the application for the restoration of your gun rights. Our consultation includes reviewing your Florida criminal record for up to 5 criminal issues and if you have more than 5, we charge an additional $495. We will review your eligibility as well as discuss your rights to own and use black powder firearms.
When can a Felon get gun rights back in Florida?
Felons can get their gun rights back or restored in Florida after eight (8) years. The 8 year waiting period begins when you have completed all imposed conditions sentences, and supervision has either expired or been completed. This includes parole, probation, community service, controlled release, conditional release, and outstanding restitution is not in excess of $1000.
The requirements for consideration to restore your gun or firearms rights in Florida include:
you have completed all sentences imposed, and you have completed all conditions of supervision, including but not limited to, parole, probation, community control, control release, and conditional release, for no less than 8 (eight) years;
you do not have any outstanding detainers or any pecuniary (financial) penalties or liabilities which total more than $1,000 and result from any criminal conviction or traffic infraction;
you do not have any outstanding victim restitution, including, but not limited to, restitution under a court order or civil judgment or obligations. (Rule 5D of Executive Clemency of Florida).
If you have been convicted in a federal, military, or out-of-state court, you are not eligible to apply. (Rule 5D of Executive Clemency of Florida).
When you apply to restore your gun rights in Jacksonville Florida or any other Florida city, the Florida Parole Commission may conduct an investigation. Depending on the results of this investigation, you may be subject to a hearing to determine the your rights to own or possess guns or firearms.

I'll be curious to see if any kind of issue is made about this (or if we hear, if so).

(7,558 posts)Kansas laws state your right to vote is taken away until your prison time is over. Oh and your parole requirements are over and your probation is over. Then...you still can't vote unless all fines/penalties/restitution has been paid in full,which could keep someone for voting for years or never.
How many of those requirements did Trump have to fulfill?
