I know they're supposed to have rights and all, but I wouldn't call this overstepping the boundaries or anything. You don't want to be in the system? Do your best to keep your nose clean.
That isn't the issue. The blood they are running against the DNA in the system is the blood of someone who hasn't been arrested, much less convicted, of a crime, only suspected. Innocent until proven guilty. If it turns out to be a match, then that is one thing - any DNA in the system is there for a legitimate reason. But to then take the search a step further and to search for DNA matches to family members in the system is another matter. It puts everyone who has a family member in the DNA database - for whatever reason - at a disadvantage in our justice system.
