I knew I should never have trusted Luke. No wonder he was hiding on an island.

CB attorneys, how do you feel about Ancestry collecting DNA from Person A,

thecthdox

7/23/19 12:09pm

What did they tell you that you were going to do with your DNA? Did

Baron

Cant use it for arrest but can use it to help investigation.

Golden State killer. They found several 3rd cousins level DNA. Figured out who were common great (maybe another great),

Hank Rearden

7/23/19 12:20pm

Yeah. I’m cool with that so long as the original dna person consented.

shimmy

7/23/19 12:21pm

Not on ancestry

fattycoug

7/23/19 1:01pm

Thanks, yeah, I didn’t mean to imply that, just explaing how they used DNA to catch a killer.

Hank Rearden

7/23/19 8:50pm

You specified non violent. Here is a case where it helped solve a violent crime

Nobody is combing DNA samples for a snatch and grab, so the hypothetical is

I am a fan of hypotheticals and pushing the edges to see weak spots.

rcbyufan

7/23/19 12:39pm

I love it. It’s what should happen.

RdF3

7/23/19 12:15pm

Wouldn't it be hard to conclude that Luke had to have committed the crime?

durandal

7/23/19 12:15pm

Ah, but I set the facts of the hypothetical. Assume it was convincing enough

thecthdox

7/23/19 12:38pm

I'm just trying to make Luke's case for him. If the evidence is, "the DNA

durandal

7/23/19 1:09pm

Need more information. Had any of Luke's limbs been severed?

Pelado

7/23/19 12:15pm

Just a hand, but he got a sweet prosthetic.

thecthdox

7/23/19 12:38pm

Why are you asking only attorneys?

rcbyufan

7/23/19 12:16pm

No problem using it to catch scumbags. Put them away! Love it.

Acorn

7/23/19 12:17pm

So you want less rights?

BYUSeahawks

7/23/19 12:20pm

Police matching up criminals' DNA doesn't impinge on my rights

Acorn

7/23/19 12:27pm

Lol. I think my rights will be just fine in this scenario.

Gerald-DeGroot

7/23/19 12:52pm

Let's put scumbags away but not at the expense of constitutional rights

Baron

7/23/19 12:21pm

Please explain what constitutional rights are being violated in these police

Acorn

7/23/19 12:33pm

Not saying they are. I would need to know the specific

Baron

7/23/19 12:38pm

Just as I thought. Implying a constitutional violation when there is none.

Acorn

7/23/19 12:42pm

Glad you fixed it.

Baron

7/23/19 12:45pm

Luke and Leia? Sounds made up

I hate it.

Check the FAQ. Ancestry does not share with police unless under court order

mtnbiker

7/23/19 12:32pm

Other services do though

TEXAS

7/23/19 12:57pm

Only Gedmatch, I believe, because they are free and open source

fattycoug

7/23/19 1:02pm

I believe a couple other do as well

TEXAS

7/23/19 1:03pm

None of the major paid sites, do.

fattycoug

7/23/19 1:05pm

I'd pay extra for them to destroy my information and not add it to the database.

conetah

7/23/19 12:40pm

I thought the police were getting these from gedmatch.com

I’m against anything that helps law enforcement and brings justice to

Gerald-DeGroot

7/23/19 12:49pm

What is the due process concern?

I'd like to see the full argument. Most of the ones I've heard have been more

If that’s ever a crime. We have wayyyy more problems to worry about than DNA.

Gerald-DeGroot

7/23/19 3:05pm

I don't think your scenario is even really close to what happens with this.

fattycoug

7/23/19 1:12pm

Exactly. They will always have at the very least a ton of circumstantial

Gerald-DeGroot

7/23/19 3:06pm

Not a fan. Too much information given to government.

Leia marries Luke to get into the country legally, oh wait...got my names mixed

I'd be upset if Ancestry or 23andme as private companies gave away info. But getting date from an open site where people

JayOwen

They don't give away data.
