arrested

everyone should have to give there dna and fingerprints IMO

either when young eg,at school or as soon as you enter the country.

I'm actually with you on this one.
I'm not for a second going to sit here and say that if this happened then we'd all live in a Eutopia and no crime is ever comitted.
No criminal wants to get caught, obviously.
However if there was a central database then just think how many people would think twice about actually going out there and committing a crime.
What would be the point when all you need to do is leave some skin, some hair and you could be matched in a matter of moments.

I would feel a lot safer knowing that in the majority of burglary, assault, rape, murder etc some DNA would be left behind.
If there was a database containing everyone then people would get caught - there would be a massive reduction in crime there is no doubt about this.

All of this "If I've committed no crime I shouldn't be listed" argument is fair and I can understand where it is you are coming from.
However, exactly how would it be a problem if everyone was listed?
If you don't commit a crime ever then fine.
If you do commit a crime and leave any DNA behind expect to get caught.
The problem here is...nope, can't see one.

The officer is coming out of hospital today, and will be seing if the pickup held is an id match. Thin it is going for forensics and the vehicle inspectors to check for damage or repairs.

I understand they are doing their job, but they should also accept that this is most likely a clone (as the solicitor have said) considering the statement is not right with the vehicle description and that there is no damange to the vehicle!

It's like a radio 1 jeep doing ramming the cop (there are so many logos on the pickup, and tel no.), and the the officer reporting that a jeep rammed him... but nothing about the fact it has radio 1 all over it if you get me?

Also how did the focus persue him if he was injured so badly he is just geting out of hospital. Seems strange.

Also i'm not just basing my mistrust of the police just on this incident. My brother has been in trouble racing recently, and they lied on his statement. We had proof, and the racing charge was dismissed. You can't blame me if i don't trust them much, because it's based on my experiances.

Also when I have relied on them to actually help me, they have not been very interested in the past. Like when I was assaulted in town, and when a violent neighbour threatened me for parking "in his spot".

At the moment there isn't, what happens when this information is given to insurance companies, so the government can charge money. Thats just one example. Once you start on a slippery slope (especially in politics) its almost impossible to stop.

You say it won happen, then no one thought you would be able to be arrested and kept with no charges in 2006. Oh look they can do that.

Well for insurance companies to use it, I disagree with that most strongly and would never support that.

As an elimination tool and nothing else, I welcome it.

TBH my only worry is the people that have access to the system. The more people that can access the data, the more people there are who `happen` to make and sell a copy of the information or look up people for cash. That is why i`m going to opt-out of the NHS online database thing. Too many people (all hospitals, gps, firebrigade? and even social workers, was the last i heard) would be able to access my data and sell it.....
