New advances in the technology mean detectives will know if an offender is black or white

I'm sorry that just can't be true. Everyone knows that race is just a skin color.

[Crim]

HA!...DNA is racist!!!!

[justlurking]

Eye color and hair color are easily changed.

So is skin color, if you are willing to wear makeup.

[Veggie Todd]

Note to self: Try not to leave any DNA on next crime spree.

Won’t take long for the perp’s to figure out that all he needs to do is sprinkle a little blood from another race or hair color or height at the scene to through the cops off...

[oldbrowser]

Now how is that affected by blood transfusions?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They’ve been able to tell race for a long time. They just have been allowed to use it.

Suspects usually make their victims bleed, not themselves.

[Secret Agent Man]

so now every crook will know to bring a sample of someone else along to drop at the crime scene.

nothing is infallible. all this will do is allow others to set up other people if they are thinking evasively and planning something beforehand.

[Secret Agent Man]

they will have a hell of a time determining that b/c there are no official or universal standards for a certain range of melanin must be a certain “color” of person. idiots.

[Secret Agent Man]

this will also become a tool for govt to use to frame people by dropping a sample at a scene.

[central_va]

Can the test tell political affiliation?

[fungoking]

But newspapers won't mention race of certain perps when they have a picture, betting they won't with DNA either.
