Yes, I think you're right. I mean the former Chief of this investigation has said "the privacy of the killer is respected but where is the privacy for the victims?" And he's right -- after all, here we are having this conversation, I made a whole podcast about this.The DNA limitations are definitely frustrating, New York I’ve learned from following LISK case(s) has restrictions in using genealogy databases due to concerns of privacy issues, I’m afraid that other states may follow. This resource likely surprised everyone, not having regulations established in advance. There obviously needs to be balance and a little bit of common sense especially where there’s specific risk to public safety evidenced by violent criminal actions responsible for the death of multiple victims plus in a manner that’s blatantly without the fear of accountability. I truly don’t understand not utilizing Parabon for possible composite sketch if the act poses no privacy risk with the proper enforcement of controlled measures that’s directed at ensuring privacy. Countries around the world establish measures for controlling risk from nuclear weapons but fail to implement guidance for positively identifying violent criminals responsible for murder and who’s victims are young children- there’s privacy rights but also human rights- JMO, MOO.
I started listening to podcast last night, it’s very well done, recommended to my online podcast group as a must listen.
The Japanese Supreme Court clearly has precedent for making exceptions. This very case was used as the exemplar for why the statute of limitations for murder should be removed in Japan -- and it was. Surely, using DNA techniques as extensively as possible in cases of murder should follow suit. Ultimately, all laws can be abused by the authorities. If I were a Japanese citizen, let alone if I lived in Setagaya, I would prefer to live in a world of trust rather than authorities putting their head in the sand when it comes to this type of investigation. That's just my take.
PS thank you for tuning into the podcast, you're very kind to recommend it!
