Ann Coulter: Why Is Ancestry.com Protecting White Serial …

This week, the New York Times reported on newlawsin Maryland and Montana that restrict law enforcements use of genealogy databases to catch serial killers. (Maryland I can understand, but Montana? Has someone kidnapped Gov. Greg Gianforte?)

Some of the largest DNA databases Ancestry, 23andMe, and Helix already refuse to share their databases with the police without a court order.

Im sorry, but why? What is their argument? Ancestry doesnt want to lose the business of skittish serial killers?

Everyone agrees that these pro-criminal rules were a direct response to the controversy of law enforcement catching the Golden State Killer in 2018.

Yes, its apparentlycontroversialthat the monster who terrorized California for decades, killing at least 13 people and raping dozens of women, was finally captured with 100 percent accuracy thanks to brilliant detective work and the miracle of DNA.

Sheriffs investigator Paul Holes and FBI lawyer Steve Kramer created a fakeprofileon GEDmatch using DNA from a rape kit of one of the Golden State Killers victims. This produced distant relatives of the rapist, allowing them to build a family tree, leading to Joseph James DeAngelo, then living in a Sacramento suburb. Officers began surveilling DeAngelo, collected his DNA from a car door and discarded tissue and bingo! it matched the Golden State Killers semen sample.

My entire life Ive had to listen to liberals wail about all the innocent people on death row. They pretended to be against murder, just deeply horrified by the idea that we might execute the wrong man.

Now we have the technology to make identifications that are infallible and liberals say we cant use it because of their concern about maintaining the serial killers privacy.

As put by TheHill since you wont believe me otherwise:

Questions intensifiedafter law enforcement officials in California used an ancestry database to help identify the Golden State Killer, a serial killer and rapist who eluded authorities for decades. [emphasis added]

Yeah, that sucks. The whiteex-cop catch that, #BLM? who tortured and raped women while their partners were forced to listen in the next room, then made obscene phone calls to his victims, was finally captured after a 40-year search, whereupon: Questions intensified.

WHAT QUESTIONS? My only questions are:

1) When are the triumphant awards dinners?; and

2) Will #BLM be taking the side of a white cop in this one case?

The Hill continued:

Following thecontroversy[of catching a serial killer for liberals, thats controversial], the largest ancestry companies said they wouldnt allow police to access their databases without a warrant. [emphasis added]

What on earth, Ancestry? Its more important that the ACLU likes you than that a majority of Americans do?

How about taking a poll of your members?Should we allow law enforcement to submit DNA into our database to solve rapes and murders without the necessity of obtaining a court order first?

Yes would be a 90 percent winner, and the other 10 percent would be ACLU types suddenly signing up just to vote. Even criminals would say,Yeah, for a killer, sure, thats fine.Only a few law professors and, of course, the Times Charles Blow, would be against it, which is formidable competition, but I still think we can win this baby!

The objections to allowing police access to genealogical websites consist of vague invocations of privacy. University of Maryland law professor Natalie Ram, for example, told the Times that law enforcements use of genealogical databases was chilling, concerning and privacy-invasive.

Many people find serial killers breaking into their homes, tying them up, and raping them to be chilling, concerning and privacy-invasive, so we seem to be at an impasse.

As with the Golden State Killer, the majority of criminals captured through these databases are going to be white. (Good news for Forensic Files!) Dont be fooled by Ancestrys woke television ads: The vast majority of their members are white. Israeli researchers estimate that they can identify relatives for60 percentof all the Americans of European descent in their database.

Is Ancestry trying to protect white killers? Theyre OK with innocent black men being arrested, while the actual white murderers remain hidden in their database? Have we finally found the beating heart of white supremacy in America?

Or are they just sniveling cowards? Let me guess: Some small group of fanatics wrote a bunch of letters to Ancestry and law enforcement didnt.

OK, lets add up the letters 28 from law professors who oppose allowing law enforcement to use our databases, and no letters in support.

[Ancestry wets pants.]

Law enforcement officers wouldnt be scrolling through personal genetic information. Indeed, they cant view information about specific individuals at all. They submit a DNA profile and, if theres a match to a criminal, an alarm goes off. Nothing comes back unless theres a hit.

Theres an easy solution to any privacy concerns. If you dont want the police finding you through a genealogical database, dont leave your DNA at acrime scene.

But some jackassDemocraticlobbyist formed theCoalitionfor Genetic Data Protection and bullied Ancestry, 23andMe, and Helix into withholding their databases from law enforcement without a warrant, adding a pointless obstacle to bringing killers to justice.

Steve Haro, executive director of the coalition:Hey, congratulate me! I just hamstrung the police in their ability to catch the provably guilty!

If Democrats really gave a crap about privacy, how about a coalition to prevent businesses from selling our names and addresses to third parties? How about prohibiting Google, Facebook, and Apple from spying on us? Can we start there, rather than blocking law enforcement from using genealogical websites to catch criminals with 100 percent, absolute, dead-on accuracy?
