The LA Times doesn’t give a rat’s ass about your privacy, they care that it will be easier to catch criminals; murders, rapists, etc.
Putting my DNA profile into the public domain is my business, it is my DNA. Don’t put yours out there? That’s your business.
Worried about big brother? Get out there and actively fight them at every turn.
The same arguments were made years ago about keeping public registries of finger prints, along with photos for ID purposes.
I guess one difference here is that they don’t need your own actual fingerprints or photograph. They can get what they need from your family member’s fingerprints or photograph, along with your location, to get what they need.
I guess what they do is get dna from crime, compare with volunteered dna lists, compare with location of crime, and get discarded dna from the suspect’s discarded garbage to confirm.

No, they don’t. They care about liberal dominance and control. The LA Slimes is an extreme left-wing bird cage liner as hell bent on totalitarian control as any liberal.
They can't get your fingerprint or photo because your brother submitted his. So, no, it isn't the same thing.
