Questione giuridica chiave
Which federal remedy was available against the cantonal decision ordering DNA sampling and profiling?
Decisione estratta
The matter was subject to administrative judicial review, so ordinary public-law appeal was the proper federal remedy; a constitutional complaint was excluded.
Motivazione estratta
The measure was based on federal DNA-profile legislation and, although connected to criminal enforcement, it had significant data-protection aspects. Under the case-law, this brought it within the exception allowing administrative review.
