Relative's DNA from genealogy websites cracked East Area Rapist case
 

some scary shit

Very interesting. Now it seems police can use genealogical websites and scan for DNA matches....

If you're not a murderous serial killer rapist night burglar should you worry?

Here's my Ancestry DNA results for the world to see I have nothing to hide

I've got nothing to worry about all. I've never hurt a fly. I've never been arrested.

But it's got to put the fear of god into anyone who has ever committed a rape or murder, or any other serious crime. If they have DNA on file it's only a matter of time before they can trace it to someone. At this point it's very likely that someone in their family has turned in their DNA to some such website and it's only a matter of time before they get caught.

Wait til they get spiders to grab fugitives..

Same here, I've never been arrested either.

I can see in the future a dictatorship using a DNA database to kill off all family of protesters or something, that's scary .

More realistically : Joe Blow's 5th cousin, that he never met, commits a crime and a 3rd cousin submits to ancestry.com; the
police then put surveillance on Joe Blow trying to get DNA to match.
The police go through Joe Blow's garbage and invade his privacy.
And when Joe Blow's is followed by undercover cops trying to secretly collect his DNA; Joe Blow doesn't know they are cops
and thinks they are robbers. So he shoots the cops.
Because he doesn't want to die like Travon.

I've always assumed ansertey.com was a honey pot.. No way with all the spying our govt is doing would they let a resource like that go untapped..

They are tracking cell phones with out warrants, it's a given they'd go after a massive DNA database..

I mean seriously I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA set up the site, same with Facebook..

What better way to get all the info you could ever need from most of the world is to get them to give it to you willingly.

You're stretching with the CIA setting up facebook; they might take it over but no way they could have foreseen what the site would become.

True once things are set in motion they can have unforseen consequences. Like whoever gave that boy the toy gun for his birthday, he goes outside playing with it at the park, shot dead by cops 3 seconds after they exit the squad car.

Bullshit; because the cops never saw the toy gun.This is on the cops.
If someone calls in saying "I think he has a gun" then that's enough for the cops to shoot
him for "making sudden moves". They shoot unarmed people all the time so you're cherry picking and blaming the people who bought the toy gun.

Cops secretly follow suspects all the time.

Yeah, keyword is "suspect" not random relatives.

Yeah probably right about that. But you know they wish they did it.. lol

By that logic you should be perfectly ok with being spied on 24-7.

"I'm not doing anything wrong, I don't care about privacy".

It was obvious to me when these genealogy sites were buying huge chunks of prime time advertising that they were "building their records".

Your dogma isn't a logical conclusion, it's fear mongering. The topic is self submitted DNA testing, not being spied on 24/7. Another lazy attempt at you trying to be a cracker jack box "intellectual"

Self submitted - pretty irrelevant in this case dumb dumb.
