Great. To me the more interesting question will be how this evidence is handled at trial. DNA matching is a stochastic process. There is no line of logic involved. Therefore, when using it in court it can only be used in the context of probability of a match. Humans are notoriously bad at assessing probability, and there are some great TED talks out there on how bad we really are and how it’s already affected our non-genetically enhanced justice system. My greatest hope is not that DNA searches are banned, but that we treat DNA matches as circumstantial evidence that may help indicate a suspect but is inadmissible as evidence of guilt.
