Maybe, but some actions the police takes because there is no alternative will do that. Wiretaps, false arrests, dna testing, infiltration etc all erode public trust but it can’t be helped sometimes.
I don’t know how a rape case like this can be solved without DNA testing. Maybe if there were surveillance cameras everywhere, the criminal would’ve been caught in one of them, but then we’d have the issue of a massive surveillance - capitalist- state.
Suspects in such cases have been successfully identified long before DNA testing became a thing right. Police can establish relationships, interview people, and so on. The DNA testing should be the last step of confirmation once there’s sufficient evidence that points to likely suspects.

It hasn’t been demonstrated that there was no alternative here.
