The Victorian Government, if re-elected in late November 2014, will make changes to the law on criminal investigation powers of the police force. Greg Barns, a barrister and the spokesperson for the Australian Lawyers Alliance, has voiced concern at the proposal to make it legal to gain fingerprints and DNA samples from those "suspected" rather than "believed" to have committed an offence. Law Institute of Victoria criminal law section co-chair Sam Norton has also criticised planned new covert warrants that will let police search homes in secret
