"Grim Sleeper" arrest and genetic searches

Yesterday, a fix-it man was arrested and charged with 10 murders as the "Grim Sleeper" serial killer. He was found because of comparison between DNA from some of the crime scenes and the DNA of his son, who was in jail for his own set of crimes.Some folks are saying this is wrong, a violation of privacy rights. Seems to me that it should be considered a valid police investigation technique. And, if it turns out that this fellow's DNA doesn't actually match the evidence from the crime scenes, he'll be set free and exonerated, and not really much harm done.
Thoughts?
