That would be confusing yes. But you can't remove the victim's DNA from the offender's, without making it less likely to find a match. That question has an actual answer: you can't. It's literally a boolean thing: you have victim AND offender, if you XOR victim out, you lose some offender. Legislation appears to be doing the right thing here, my question is whether the police did their duty or not. Someone signed a consent form to put them in a database that tagged them as a match. That's not a police discretion thing, it's not clear to me that damages are appropriate. Fortunately I'm not a judge, just some guy on the internet.
