Abstract

Appeared in French law in 1994 on the occasion of the so-called bioethics laws, the methods of identification by genetic fingerprints only discreetly targeted criminal proceedings, article 16-11 of the Civil Code laying down the principle of their legality. It is the success of their use in Anglo-Saxon countries and the concern for safety that led to the adoption in France of measures making the collection of biological samples compulsory for the purpose of constituting an automated national file of fingerprints. Genetics (FNAEG). Created in 1998, the FNAEG is presented as one of the modern tools of forensic science while obeying organizational and operating rules maintaining a balance between concern for efficiency and respect for freedoms.
