Siding with Bad Guys

Siding with Bad Guys Activists targeting revolutionary crime-fighting tool

“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”— Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan

Particularly if you’re a crime victim in Canada.

One of the most revolutionary developments in solving murders, sex assaults, and identifying John and Jane Does has now come under the scrutiny of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.

A nearly 10,000-word opus entitled, Guardrails for Police Use of Investigative Genetic Genealogy in Ontario, obtained by the Toronto Sun, is packed with bureaucratese. The commission wants “guardrails” to derail police snooping in DNA databases. But cops don’t do that now.

They are not allowed.

Internet Genetic Genealogy has been the big bang in homicide investigations. In Toronto alone, 59 murders and sexual assaults have been cleared, along with the identification of those nameless individuals who ended up dead.

You may know the names: Christine Jessop, Erin Gilmour, Susan Tice and scores of others.

For the report, the commission invited a wide swath of people and groups to give their input. That includes cops, community groups and a slew of activists.

Because every case deserves answers—and every victim deserves justice.
