The people give their consent, but what maybe actually is surprising is how the police went about it according to the GSK LATimes podcast.
Police made a fake profile online with the killer's DNA. At first they got a match for a relative. It turned-out it too was a fake profile created by another LE agency with the GSK's DNA.
This is not illegal.
- blotter_paper 7y agoI wonder if they violated the website's terms and conditions by creating a fake account and uploading somebody else's DNA (not that this would be necessarily be illegal).
- n0rbwah 7y agoI suspect law enforcement agencies don't have to worry too much about violating the terms and conditions of a service they're using for an investigation. At worst, their fake account gets closed by the site and they have to go through proper channels if they want to proceed further.
