DNA Collected at Traffic Stops in Search for Serial Killer

(Daytona Beach, Florida) Local police are swabbing the mouths of persons of interest during traffic stops for DNA analysis in the hunt for a serial killer. Four women have been killed execution-style.
Daytona Beach police Chief, Mike Chitwood, said detectives have the killer's DNA.

"Genetically, we know who he is," Chitwood said. "We have DNA evidence from the murder scenes -- so, we got that. That is never going to go away. And, sooner or later, we will match the DNA to the physical person and bring closure to everything that is going on."

Agents are using the DNA kits to collect as much DNA as possible during traffic stops and special operations in hopes on making a match.
I'm wondering why the ACLU hasn't jumped on this program as an invasion of privacy. Not complaining, I'm just wondering.
