felonious assault with a sproinging boner
not sure if that becomes more funny or less funny after finding out that the "device" is just a USB condom

Ancestry.com made this guy history

No real detail, but that sounds like they uploaded the guy's DNA as if an end-consumer and just hoped for a close match to show up, rather than forcing ancestry.com to disclose anything ... I think 23andme has some big government guarantee to the effect of "no disclosure demands", but that's a funny workaround. Just how many unknown criminals' DNA has been uploaded this way to actually catch one?

Idgi did they somehow have saliva samples from 20 years ago or whatever, or did they just send a vial of frozen cum and the lab was like "uhh ok whatever people really don't read directions"...

????

Also I have this image of Detroit or whatever just mailing 20,000 backlogged rape kits to 23andme now.

they gotta have some level of cooperation with the company, because you can’t get a vial or spit or a cheek swab from a crime scene

yeah someone at vice was posting about how they contacted a few of the bigger services like 23andme or ancestry.com and none of them said they worked with the cops, so either they're lying or the cops made a profile themselves, and it's impossible to know which

You can upload a data file to most of these sites in lieu of their spit kits.

E: now that I think of it this will probably be the big secfuck of 2019 when it's discovered that police officers have been uploading data in bulk to these sites pretending to be the criminals.

That sounds like an interesting fuzzer to write. Not just for the actual data flow, but can you target sub-populations with fuzzed data and say identify people with rare conditions by uploading a bunch of fake DNA with the same condition

it's probably both. compulsory cooperation in many cases plus some get uploaded without the company knowing.

did none of them say they work with the cops, or did they all say they don't work with the cops.

cuz if they all just didn't say they work with the cops, it's not a lie

yeah its bound to work at at least one spammy fly-by-night operation

when i set up my company, within a week id got like 4-5 lovely letters about signing up for bullshit addressed to company name. all from different sources (well i suppose they could buy from the same source, but since the registry is free they probably all scrape).
