I don’t think that’s a logical reading.

The point is that being raped shouldn’t have made her more likely to be caught.

I think this is a fair stance to take, as DNA from rape kits being used for future tracking of the raped is going to disincentivise the use of rape kits.

I want to live in a world with less sexual violence, and if rape victims can submit DNA evidence without having to worry about state tracking (and those kits actually be analysed) then I think we can get a step closer to that world.

So you are arguing police only collects DNA from only ethical sources of your liking?

Great equaliser would be collecting everyone's DNA at birth.
