racial discrimination concerns

Too many black criminals being arrested?

Although this technology has been used to crack cold cases, I am against this practice. Giving government busy bodies troves of data play with always ends in abuse of power.

IIRC when someone puts their trash out for collection they are considered to have legally renounced their ownership of the contents and,having done so,the police can take the contents without any kind of warrant.

IMO when one submits their DNA to a public service like "Ancestry DNA" they have relinquished their ownership rights and anyone,including police,can search it.

That is going to mess with a bunch of TV crime drama plots.

“racial discrimination concerns”

Of course. What’s a day without racial discrimination concerns?

Either the judges don’t understand science or they lie to kiss up to Blacks.

Nobody is going to be arrested on a partial DNA match. A 50% match means that somebody’s brother may have done the crime. It doesn’t mean they arrest the innocent brother. The perps who were caught were 100% matches. It just took the database to help track them down.

This is the equivalent of ruling out video evidence because the video includes innocent people.

Why does the government have a DNA databank? Oh wait, because it’s the government.

I have to say it’s super creepy they do this.

If I ran a ancestry DNA site I’d make the whole thing double blind and unsearchable like this.

so if a criminal left their phone instead, we couldn’t call the numbers on it either... is that it???
