Die Erweiterung der DNA-Reihenuntersuchung auf „Beinahetreffer“

The extension of the DNA serial examination according to § 81h StPO concerning familial searching has created and aggravated problems. The legislator considered the extension to be unobjectionable - a misjudgement that is considerably detrimental to the subjects of this measure due to an encroachment on Article 6 of the German Constitution. However, the relatives of the test persons are also affected in their right to informational self-determination, so that in the present work the proportionality of the DNA serial examination is examined critically. The interaction with DNA phenotyping is also considered. The aim is to preserve the core of the DNA serial examination and to transform it into a proportionate measure by means of concrete proposals for improvement.
