You're driving home from a party on a chill weekend night and
encounter your first unpleasant surprise of the evening: A police car
behind you with its lights ablaze.

Turns out you didn't halt entirely for that last stop sign, or so the
friendly policeman says. But he doesn't seem nearly as congenial as he
hands you a cotton swab and tells you to touch it to the inside of
your cheek for a DNA sample.

The second unhappy surprise: You're under arrest.
