The police love this stuff. It used to be that if the police wanted to match a DNA sample from a crime scene and their database didn't show a match, they had to wait until the culprit was arrested and had to give a DNA sample. Or if they had a particular suspect in mind, they either had to get an order for a DNA sample or they had to try to obtain a DNA sample from something he or she discarded with saliva or blood on it (the old offer the suspect a drink and then take it off for analysis when s/he'd finished with it routine). A crook with something to hide would do his or her best to keep intimate samples away from prying eyes.
Recently, the police have matched DNA via these DNA matching sites and even if the crook hadn't submitted a sample, they were able to turn up relatives who had. They solved quite a few cold cases that way.
But DNA matching sites have now changed their terms of service so that users have to opt in to allowing police to access their data and police aren't happy.
