There are examples in there. Police grab data off of a random crime scene, then they generate a pic out of that data. They start looking for a culprit.
Now imagine “the black sheep” of the family, a crackhead cousin or a criminal, steals something and kills someone. Police get in, get a swab, and create a portrait that looks exactly like you. Or better yet, they find matches of the DNA and trace it back to you - who went for the service. Suddenly you are in deep shit and need to prove your innocence. Also imagine you are a public figure - a local polititian, headmaster of the school, whatever. Suddenly you hit the news, and everyone “judges” you to be guilty. Media spread it around, you lose your job.
Even with a full DNA sequence, recreating it (how even?) and placing it at a crime scene without police or lab involvement is highly complex and unlikely. Using hairs or other physical evidence is more feasible for framing someone?
Bro, nah, that’s borderline Black Mirror writing. It’s possible something like that might happen, but let’s be real, the chance of it happening to a person is almost zero. Even if you’re a public figure - because if that’s happening, someone wants to sabotage you whether they have some DNA information from you or not. And sloppy police work is sloppy police work, no matter what tools might be used or not. I get the privacy concerns and the not knowing part. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just a for-profit data accumulation company, that will sell to anyone with the right money. Sure, some data might be misused to frame someone, or by regimes or institutions and, of course, by other for-profit companies to create products. But that’s neither unexpected nor surprising.
