California bill would stop DNA from incriminating sexual assault victims
The Center Square ^ | 8 Mar 22 | Madison Heirnesen

(The Center Square) – A California lawmaker introduced a bill Monday that would prohibit local law enforcement agencies from retaining the DNA profiles collected from victims of sexual assault in databases used to identify crime suspects, to advance privacy protections for sexual assault survivors.

Senate Bill 1228 was sponsored by Sen. Scott Wiener to ensure that a sexual assault victims’ DNA could not be used against them in the future. The bill would prohibit the DNA profiles collected from victims of sexual assault – including rape kits – to be used for any other purpose than identifying the perpetrator of the crime

I am not a fan of government databases or collecting info on us, but why do these victims get special status? If police collect data, fingerprints, DNA investigating any other crime, does this apply? I’m guessing not.

Obviously, the DNA services that test your DNA to identify your heritage are closely aligned with government agencies as there are numerous stories of the DNA sent to these services being used to prosecute criminals or find criminal relatives of people who send samples.

Also, this was promoted by concerns from our favorite DA Chesa Boudin and our other favorite pervert, Weiner.

What if the victim of sexual assault is found to be a mass murderer or something heinous? Are courts bound to ignore this evidence?

Again, not a fan of databases but I don’t think these people are thinking two steps ahead.

The mass collection of individual data by government and corporations is criminal and despotic. Full stop.

So if a “victim” of rape has their DNA put into the criminal database, and later that same DNA matches that obtained from a homicide crime scene, then the “victim” can’t be charged based on the DNA evidence?

Why?

Dhimmicraps have always been soft on crime. Now they’re actively pro-crime.

Collection and retention issues are a separate issue. Prior SA should NOT be a free pass for your own crimes.

California State Sen. Scott Wiener is a different person than former NY 9th District Congressman Anthony Weiner. Huma Abedin’s husband is the best-known pervert of the two.

But the California Wiener is also a major pervert. Not only is he a democrat (automatically a pervert, it seems), but he is a leader in San Francisco’s LGBT community; he co-chaired the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club; co-chaired BALIF (the Bay Area’s LGBT bar association); and co-chaired the LGBT Community Center.

So they are BOTH major Demo perverts, one straight, one homo.

Before even reading this I knew that the sodomite Scott Weiner was the sponsor behind it. He is a degenerate at a new level of debauchery.

This is the same guy who decriminalized intentionally infecting people with AIDS btw. As outrageous as it is its kinda understandable being california but at the same time it gets weird again when you realize so much of this is coming from one guy.

IS that really how the potential law is written?

If you’re a serial rapist, then all you have to do is claim you were rapped and submit your DNA at a rape clinic, and you’re forever protected from DNA evidence prosecution

Any non-felon should mhave the right to delete their DNA data from any company or government agency.

Period.

Same with facial recognition and voice prints.

What about fingerprints?

When you enlist in the military, your fingerprints and DNA are entered into the vast FBI database.

This is garbage-speak. As written, it is insensible, and prone to many different interpretations.

Good for excluding but not including?

Yeah...no. Not seeing the logic in that.

This is what I suspect as well. It's a backdoor way for sexual predators to avoid prosecution from their crimes.

This is from the same guy that sponsored a bill to decriminalize infecting people with HIV. A real sicko.

Too bad that right is not be plain to all.

Those supporting the use of a victim’s DNA to be used against them in the event they are as suspect in a crime probably go along with the adage “If you’re innocent why don’t you just cooperate with the police? You don’t have anything to hide.”

It also shows a remarkable ignorance of the corruption discovered at some forensic labs where such played lead role in conviction of innocent persons.
