“Make no mistake about it…your DNA can be taken and entered into a national DNA database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason… I doubt that the proud men who wrote the charter of our liberties would have been so eager to open their mouths for royal inspection.”—Justice Antonin Scalia dissenting in Maryland v. King
Be warned: the DNA detectives are on the prowl.
Whatever skeletons may be lurking on your family tree or in your closet, whatever crimes you may have committed, whatever associations you may have with those on the government’s most wanted lists: the police state is determined to ferret them out.
In an age of overcriminalization, round-the-clock surveillance, and a police state eager to flex its muscles in a show of power, we are all guilty of some transgression or other.
No longer can we consider ourselves innocent until proven guilty.
Now we are all suspects in a DNA lineup, waiting to be matched up with a crime.
Suspect State, meet the Genetic Panopticon.
DNA technology in the hands of government officials will complete our transition to a Surveillance State in which prison walls are disguised within the seemingly benevolent trappings of technological and scientific progress, national security and the need to guard against terrorists, pandemics, civil unrest, etc.
By accessing your DNA, the government will soon know everything else about you that they don’t already know: your family chart, your ancestry, what you look like, your health history, your inclination to follow orders or chart your own course, etc.
It’s getting harder to hide, even if you think you’ve got nothing to hide.

So, no 21 and Me?
Sorry, my math was off today. 23 and Me.
Amazing how many sheeple willingly offered up their family secrets.

We’re All Suspects in a DNA Lineup, Waiting to Be Matched With a Crime, Real or Fictitious
Yes! Thank you for your Truth, whether it be MSM or Alternate. This is why President Trump constructed this monument to the First Amendment - Truth Social! No Soros government controls speech or reality - we all have our Truth!
If you don’t want to voluntarily provide your DNA, it’s been harvested via Covid tests.
I’m sure many of us have had our DNA captured at some point
along the line. All they have to do is pull a drop or two out,
and bingo, you’re DNA will be part of a major crime scene.
Locard’s exchange. Everyone thinks DNA evidence is the holy grail of innocence or guilt. But it is just another piece of evidence and must be treated that way.

“Show me the man. I’ll find the crime.” - Lavrenti Beria
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” - Paul the Apostle
People are learning everyday of siblings they didn’t know they had, father’s that they thought were uncles, and on and on. With millions of DNA reports online for everyone to see, it’s basically too late. The genie is out of the bottle. On the positive side, cold cases are being solved and serial killers are being caught.
I think I might give that a go. But just for fun, I’ll send in the DNA from my cat, Mr. Whiskers. Sure, he might get pinned for some crime in the future. But he deserves it, given that he tore up my Covid stash of toilet paper. And never once did he apologize for it.
Gladly. If anyone in my family has a serial killer “secret”, I am happy to shine the light.
That was a weak stash. You would have been high and not dry in a week or so.
> Everyone thinks DNA evidence is the holy grail of innocence or guilt. <
Awhile back I read an article about some bum who was accused of a murder, based on him having the DNA of the murder victim on his clothing.
It turns out that earlier in the day paramedics had treated the real murderer. And the paramedics had gotten some of the murderer’s DNA on them.
Then later in the day those paramedics treated the bum. Some of the murderer’s DNA got transferred from the paramedics to the bum.
Fortunately for the bum, a clever detective was able to sort this all out.
So the good news is that this may change all our DNA, making this scheme improbable.
Never have given my DNA to anybody and never had a covid test, am I alone in this?
“Locard’s exchange. Everyone thinks DNA evidence is the holy grail of innocence or guilt. But it is just another piece of evidence and must be treated that way.”
Amen. And people are getting so brainwashed that they believe the ABSENCE of DNA is proof of innocence.
