Answer to Question 1

In United States v. Mara, the Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of taking a handwriting sample without the consent of the suspect. The court ruled that this did not constitute an unreasonable search and seizure of a person and hence did not violate Fourth Amendment rights.

Answer to Question 2

In Gilbert v. California, the Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of taking handwriting exemplars before the appointment of counsel. The Court ruled that handwriting samples are identifying physical characteristics that lie outside the protection privileges of the Fifth Amendment.
