Same here.

Bomani even predicted this way back on show when all those home security camera services were giving access to law enforcement.

That tv show rabbit hole did too.

They tried to keep this on the low, but yeah it’s out there, and I am not surprised

This happened almost 3 years ago

If not them then somebody else. Shit is inevitable. Just like Hydra in CA:TWS, people are frightened by the people elected to serve them and as a consequence give up their rights to be protected from the protectors.

I tried to tell people this years ago and they thought I was crazy. WTF I need to do a dna test for? I know my shit goes back to West Africa with some European blood mixed in. Unless I'm inheriting land I don't need to know exactly where from. Dumb to give your DNA to a database.

Doesn't even matter if you personally did one or not. If someone in your family did a test than they got your shit already. They recently caught a serial rapist based on a DNA test that a family member of his took.

Fucked up part is can't control family. Even people with sense got their DNA caught up in this BS thanks to at least one family member doing this dumb shit.

I've never trusted it and I'm glad that I never used them or at all!

Good riddance.

That shit is such a scam!!!!

I had no idea that shit is so popular and worth that much money!!!

 

[Darrkman]

I've never taken a DNA test. I'm dodging any repercussions

They solved a cold case rape & murder case down here in Ga., because the killer's nephew did a test. Come to find out, the guy that took the test, his uncle lived across the street from the victim when the crime was committed.

I wouldn't be surprised if the real value is selling access to governments.
