Search and Seizure: Can the Police Collect DNA Without a Warrant

My question involves police conduct in the State of: United States of AMerica

If police need a suspects DNA to prove a case, but cannot get it through voluntary consent, criminal database, or produce the threshold of evidence to secure a DNA warrant, can they collect via passive techniques? For example setting up an undercover investigation to get it from the rim of a drinking glass, or any other viable source. Would this be considered criminal maleficence by the police?

At what point is a suspect legally compelled to provide a sample of his DNA to the state database? After a felony charge, or after a felony conviction?
