'If rape survivors believe that the evidence collected in their rape kits could be used against them, that's one more reason on an already-long list to not trust the criminal justice system—or seek justice at all.'
: That the San Francisco Police Department's crime lab uses DNA evidence obtained from rape kits and entered into a DNA database to try to identify suspects in other crimes.
Police had already arrested one woman, Boudin said, for a property crime after identifying her from DNA evidence collected after a rape examination she underwent in 2016 as part of a domestic violence case. The San Francisco Police Chief has said that, if these allegations are true, he is"committed to ending the practice."
According to Boudin, this practice would violate California's constitution, and potentially the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures.
