Request. The new word for demand with the full force of The State.
If you didn’t see this one coming...
anyone brilliant enough to give their freaking dna to a company that literally collects dna has probably stepped in front of a train by now.
Delete... What a joke...
So? They still need a warrant. This is a silly article.
I did a family tree as a elementary school project. Sure it’d be fun to have lineage back further, but the commercial from the DNA company I see most often says find out blah blah blah, then they add the word “possible” when talking of the results. ITs just guesses of your ancestry heritage. they sell a possibility.
Police could use genetic information it gets from those companies to identify you in a criminal investigation, even if you’ve never used one of those services.

“both companies allow you to delete your DNA results”
Ha ha ha! Much like you can “delete” anything else from Skynet. I wonder when folks wearing Fitbits are going to find out how that data is really being used.

Hahahahahahahaha, you foolish sheeple! I've said from day one this was nothing but another invasion by Big Brother. There's no such thing as deletion. Once in the system, always in the system.
I have tested at the three main ones, and have looked at the results for perhaps a dozen people or more. Without having extensive family trees to look at, it seems I don’t understand how the results could help police very much.
Use fake information if you just want to find out your dna result.
If you want them to check your actual family background then use your name without saliva.
Could be.
With a warrant.
Nothing terribly new or exciting about that.
If they want your DNA they can dig through your trash or follow you to a fast food place and take the utensil you used out of the trash.
I believe I read that the Military is taking DNA samples (to ID bodies if need be).
We leave a long trail of DNA just going about our daily business. Sorry to scare you but that horse has left the barn.
You want to know what is scary? Even if you do everything in your power to keep your DNA out of their data base, one of your siblings can submit a sample. A close match to one they are looking for would lead them to you.
I see a day when every individual born will have their DNA become part of their permanent record.
In a hundred years (or less) people of this world will have absolutely no privacy at all.
or
The people of the world will revolt and we will see a French Revolution style solution to overbearing government.
Guess they better not commit any crimes
Bkmk
Why not send your saliva under a friend’s name to be the monkey in the wrench, fly in the ointment?
I thought this was the original intent
