You want rapes to go unreported? Because this is how you do it.
I have mixed emotions about it. Personally, I wouldn’t have an issue with it because I haven’t committed another crime.
But if a woman is a prostitute and is raped, she sure as frick isn’t going to agree to a rape kit if it’s going to be used to throw her in a jail for another crime. And then rapist will be encouraged to target women like her knowing she won’t report.
I also find it interesting that they’re using the DNA database to identify someone from a property crime.

I don't have a problem with it because, somewhere else there was a victim of a crime that remains unsolved. What if that crime the rape victim did was murder or something else just as heinous.

this is the biggest problem with it being used to ID the victims as a suspect in other crimes. The question is what crime would the victim be involved in where this would be warranted? certainly murder yes?

That's something I also find interesting. Are these crimes property crimes, or are they something more serious where DNA would be taken. Is DNA typically taken for property crime? Maybe if it's some high value/serious property crime? I don't know the answer. That's kind of where I am on the fence with this. If this is happening to bring justice in some very bad crimes, then I'm all for it. If it's to catch someone for breaking I to a store after hours and stealing a shirt, not so much. Getting a rapist off the street is more critical than a theft, and we don't want to discourage reporting. If we get the rapist and find out this lady was involved in an armed robbery, lock her up. Are they catching enough women tied to a serious crime that it is really going to get around and discourage women from reporting rape? I see both sides and I think the line has to be drawn somewhere in the middle.
