How is this different than the police comparing DNA evidence to samples in their own database? In both cases, the person who provided the DNA did not consent.

- clavalle 8y agoFor the same reason it is ok to collect felon's fingerprints to compare to crime scenes...the felons have shown they commit crimes.
- occamsrazorwit 8y ago> the felons have shown they commit crimes That's not a thing. It's innocent until proven guilty; it's legally impossible to gather evidence because they're guilty to use against them. Hell, innocent people's fingerprints can be, and often are, collected at crime scenes. The police can use innocent people's prints to establish a timeline or figure out what their role was.
