Here is part of the above report about the proposed legislation. In my opinion you also have to factor in the privacy violations and suffering of those who have been wrongly accused through the use of investigative genetic genealogy:
Now civil rights advocates are backing Utah lawmakers in the effort to establish some basic protections on this data as law enforcement and other government agencies are increasingly accessing this information as a genetic blueprint for building the perfect criminal case.
Last month, Connor Boyack, president of Utah-based libertarian public advocacy group Libertas Institute, told the Deseret News that while the technology is a boon to amateur genealogists, the way it is being leveraged by government agencies raises concerns.
“In the past couple of years, law enforcement around the country have identified a new opportunity to use DNA to find and catch bad guys,” Boyack said. “At first blush, many might think this is an exciting new tool to catch criminals, however, when you look at it more closely, it’s actually a very profound violation of privacy.”
Facial recognition, DNA searches, digital privacy to air during 2020 legislative session
What i am saying is there is no valid DNA hit in the genetic genealogy cases I mentioned above and others because the science is flawed. In my opinion the DNA hits are 'phoney' ones. If you have studied the case Mr DeAngelo is nothing like the offender people were looking for. He is the wrong height, the wrong age looks nothing like any of the composite sketches etc etc and was not even in right town for the East Area Rapist cases
