This is not an easy question to answer as there are many scenarios. For example, if you pick up a piece of hair off the ground, then probably not illegal. If you pluck a hair from their head or take a swab of their cheek, then probably illegal. Lots of gray area, so I suggest you contact an attorney to give them more specifics and explain if any of your actions were illegal or not.
