U. Florida cops ask fiction writer for fingerprints, DNA
The university police at Gainesville’s University of Florida have targeted a graduate student in the English program over his publication of a piece of horror fiction on his LiveJournal. The police have repeatedly visited the student and demanded that he submit his fingerprints and DNA to them so that they can compare the fictional murder he described in his story to evidence from any similar unsolved murders.
Funny I don’t see the police trying to fingerprint Stephen King or Dean Koontz….
