Law/Patents - Law (general) / Police
English term or phrase: Swab
The process of obtaining a DNA sample usually begins at a police station when an officer takes a tissue sample from a newly arrested person. The police first check the Police National Computer (PNC) to see if the individual's DNA profile is already on the NDNAD - a fresh sample is not taken if an existing profile is confirmed. Most often a sample is obtained via a mouth swab - a large cotton wool bud is rubbed inside the suspect's cheek to loosen and collect skin cells. Alternatively, ten hairs with roots can be removed from the head. The sample is then put into a small plastic tube which is sealed. The process is repeated so that there are two samples for each suspect.
Code D of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) 1984 and its Codes of Practice (as amended 2005) stipulates when and how the police can take DNA samples from an individual. They only have a right to take both intimate (such as blood or urine) and non-intimate samples (such as hair or cheek swabs) 'only when justified and necessary for preventing, detecting or investigating crime'.

obrisak
Explanation:
U ovom kontekstu, swab je obrisak - uzorak prikupljen brisanjem. Distinkcija između brisa i obriska pojavila se prije desetak godina i nije konzistentna kroz literaturu, ali brisom se uglavnom naziva vatirani štapić za uzimanje obriska. U engleskom je jedno i drugo "swab".

swab
bris (usta)


Explanation:
Ovdje je bitna informacija o brisu usta, mislim da nije bitno navoditi detalje, tj. da se to radi vatom/tupferom/brisačem itd.
