2007-12-20 | A New DNA Test Can ID a Suspect's Race, But Police Won't Touch It | WIRED

'Based on an FBI profile and an eyewitness report, they upended southern Louisiana looking for a white man who drives a white pickup, collecting DNA from more than 1,000 Caucasian males. '

'* Illustration: Wilson Hsu * In the summer of 2002, the FBI, the Baton Rouge Police Department, and several other agencies began a massive search for a serial killer suspected of murdering three women. '

'But by looking at scores of markers, Frudakis says he can predict ancestry with a tiny margin of error. '

Test existed since 2003, article written in 2007. So title is lacking.

"Once we start talking about predicting racial background from genetics, it's not much of a leap to talking about how people perform based on their DNA — why they committed that rape or stole that car or scored higher on that IQ test," says Troy Duster, former president of the American Sociological Association.

Yes? And? We need this information to make informed decisions. It is reality. We cannot close our eyes and turn away from it, because it won't go away. There are genetic differences between races, and they have massive real-world consequences.

He was already on the tip list and in their files, but they were ignoring him since he was not White.

Today they can identify the likelihood of eye color, skin tone, hair color, etc.

“A New DNA Test Can ID a Suspect's Race, But Police Won't Touch It”

(Voluntary) MRi interrogation could potentially eliminate the innocent, and identify (for further investigation) the guilty. But why would politicians permit something that might be used to test their honesty?

You could even be blind, and still have a 'racist' sense of smell.
