Roughly... Crime is committed, police find DNA sample at scene, police compare sample with online DNA registry, hits as a near-match for personX, police now know that a sibling/cousin of personX is the culprit. That sibling/cousin never allowed their own DNA to be collected. This happened in 2018...

To me, that is the real threat - false positives. myopic reliance on the database, and an assumption the computer is always correct.
