D.N.A.

as said earlier, if it catches perpetrators of past crimes and helps catch murderers, terrorists, and paedophiles i have no problem with it.

Well you wouldn't have a problem with the police searching your home, PC, CD/DVD collection etc. every 6 months or so? ... just in case you have any copied material, goods you can't prove you purchased in a legal outlet, any tobacco/alcohol not tax-paid, all your DVD's are BBFC'd, all your software is legitimate... or have you visited a porn site? --- not necessarily illegal, but you must be suspicious anyway if you like porn, in some people's eyes --- the slippery slope!, . And you'd probably agree to be voluntarily tagged and have your car tracked for speed/position 24 hours a day, because if you've got nothing to hide ... well, you've got nothing to fear. But anyone who states the clich? 'if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear' has lost the argument before it starts. And catching a handful of serious criminals from the past, at the expense of DNA'ing a population and turning us into a police state isn't worth it - if you can't be free, life isn't worth living. A dusk to dawn curfew, with violators shot on sight would lead to a dramatic reduction in crime, but nobody would seriously consider that,.

If I'd been Googling for 24 hours I'd have come up with many more examples. That's from the BBC News website today. Thought it might be relevant.

You have made very clear what you are with the comments you made about the pedo's in Wales.

Sorry but I've no intention of debating anything with you.

Well now its been revealed that upto 25,000 kids some as young as ten are on the database and they have done nothing wrong and never been charged with anything, now im not against dna but this is just another scenario of Blair and his cronies saying this is the way it will be instead of having a proper debate in parliament, if you are going to have an effective database then pass a law saying everone should give a sample then we all know where we stand , the way it is now any copper can drag a young kid down to the nick with a feeble excuse and take their dna without any charge or caution being given, its wrong.
