Yeah, totally ignorant. If there is a database with DNA from everyone, you can trivially frame anybody. It is usually easy to obtain DNA from a specific person

It is usually easy to obtain DNA from a specific person and put it at the crime scene.
I'm sure Mr Harran's DNA won't be found in any database.
- gtsteve 8y agoMy understanding that these databases effectively contain a checksum which has a very low chance of collision. I don't know if you could actually make DNA material from that checksum.
- gmarkoff 8y agoThe comment you replied to did not mention making DNA material. DNA can be obtained directly from the target. CCC members has obtained fingerprints from politicians, for example. DNA is no harder. Or don't target a specific person, but place random hair found in a public toilet.
- omeid2 8y agoNot only is obtaining DNA contaminated samples not harder than fingerprints, it is orders of magnitude easier.
