GENETIC GENEALOGY – also known as a familial search. Police now search the private databases you have submitted your DNA spit-kit too. The catch is that you don’t have to submit your own DNA. You could be a match if any relative of yours has submitted theirs. This is the new front line of privacy protection.

The trial of William Earl Talbott II hinged on a lead from a genealogy site. The verdict will shape the future of crime-fighting and genetic privacy.
