If the chance of a false positive is 1 per 10 million and there are 10 million names in the database, you will, on average get 1 match. Matching is useful if used against a small number of suspects, but scanning a database and arresting someone without any other evidence is absurd.

DNA tests are not 100% proof positive. They can only prove the negative.
Based on an average city size, there are at least 5000 other people that will match that same DNA test. And, that does not include people that may have been passing through.
DNA tests are just more BS science that (((they))) promote to get their boot on your neck.
