Don’t forget the problem as stated in the OP is not the government’s obtaining of your DNA. It is them going to DNA companies to inspect the DNA of close relatives (or, when they have no suspect and are casting a wide net, many persons’ DNA, in the hope of finding a partial match and identifying a family member of some future suspect).
I think that would require new law, similar to law that protects medical records, law that restrains the actions of DNA companies and their employees, much like medical personnel are barred from releasing personal medical information, except with permission or a with a warrant, or for some other narrowly defined purpose.
opinions need substance...now this right here is funny...I don't care who you are.
Not necessarily so. Forty years ago OHSA showed up at the door wanting to inspect (no complaint). I asked if they had a warrant. No, but they can get one. I said when you do your affidavit better contain proof that the business is involved in interstate commerce. They never came back.
OSHA is not cops. Anyway, your OSHA example does not address the willingness of a fledgling e-business rebuking the cops in a manner as would a Apple Inc.
Requiring private DNA companies to keep customer DNA information confidential would not be a constitutional issue. It would be accomplished, like privacy of medical information, by legislation.
