      Because it’s potentially indicative of a national database of everyone’s DNA, rather than just the criminal database, which would be (and perhaps is) a privacy nightmare

        some large commercial dna testing companies share their databases with law enforcement, and additionally you really don’t need a close match to start identifying someone, 5th cousin type thing etc. heres an good video on the issue.

        It’s not. Law enforcement can get a warrant on 23 & Me. Everyone turning over the DNA to random companies not required to comply with HIPAA is a terrible idea.

        Some states have been collecting blood for almost 40 years and can’t even really say why. They just started doing it…

        Like, they have an excuse for taking the samples that seems valid. Except I don’t think they’re actually testing them. And there’s no reason to keep after testing.

        Now, I dont think it’s for a secret DNA database, I think it’s normal red state bullshit.

        Just pointing out in some states the take and keep blood samples from every birth

      Privacy minded people don’t like the idea of easily accessible geology databases. This was a good use of that technology, but people worry about that technology be used for evil. Health insurance companies reflagging you, or much worse.

      When you’re rooting for a conspiracy all new info cam be read as a red flag if you’re creative and paranoid enough.

              I heard he went to a local deli before the shooting and ordered a sandwich with “Dijon” mustard? Who does he think he is?
