DNA Database

They have be doing a eye retinal scan and a finger print scan
when you fly into the USA now for ages.

and with the new micro chip UK passports that holds all info about you
good and bad it is going to be harder to get into other places like the USA.

But on the whole i think its a good thing
 
I think its a great idea.
Would make solving various crimes far easier, will help identify bodies and help various medical issues. Tracking down other people with similar medical conditions etc.

In my opinion all the people against it are either trying to hide something, or are just overly paranoid
 
Happy to donate my DNA if required.
I have nothing to hide.
Think you have nothing to fear or hide?

When the government privatise the database, and that private company starts selling DNA information to insurance companies so they can charge you premiums based on genetic diseases that you don't even know you have yet, you'll have something to worry about.

I don't trust the government with my least, let alone most, sensitive data.
 
I hate this, I hope to god people start saying no to this kind of thing, just another way they can keep a tigther lock on the population and slowly but surely take our rights away.

This way they can take anyone they want and inprison them for any crime that they want that has happened at any time, there is nothing stopping them, because with your DNA they can say that they have proof thaty you commited the crime, no one would know.
 
Anyone comes near me with a swab or a needle with the intention of extracting DNA for this database better have themselves a good Proctologist!
 
Although the idea sounds great. Catching more criminals, nothing to hide etc. It's a bad bad place to be. As has already been said, These systems suffer with creep, what else will tehy want to add, when will they allow private companies to gain access, insurance(the main one, but I'm sure there's others). data protection and system security?

How about the government increases national insurance premiums for those most likley to use the NHS ?

Would it be a great idea if you pay more than me based on some theoretical risk based on DNA inspection ?

How about the police use DNA to round up all the people who have used a certain resturant where a crime was comitted ? Would you be telling the police "what a great idea this is" as you sit in the interview room for hours on end waiting to be questioned on something you know nothing about ?

Maybe we've just studied some history. "You have nothing to worry about unless you have something to hide" has always meant something very bad is around the corner.

Besides, no-one really means it.

Would you be comfortable living in a transparent house with cameras covering every part of it?

If not, then by your own argument you must have something bad to hide at home and you should be presumed guilty of abusing your children/parents/partner/pets.

Sound fair to you?

It is unarguably true that such things give a great deal more power to the authorities. Maybe they can be trusted with it. What makes you sure that will always be the case? What if, for example, the BNP gain significant power several decades into the future? A lot of letters could be sent: "Your DNA indicates that your ancestry isn't British White enough for our standards. You are encouraged to leave the country." Or a group much worse than the BNP could emerge and gain power.

The system will not work properly and not be properly secure. It's a government project.

The system will be presumed infallible, when it isn't. Wrongful conviction without effective appeal would be a possibility for anyone, including you.

Then there is the inevitable function creep (assuming you believe that the function is supposed to be limited to criminal investigation in the first place).

Or, the people who accept it without question are the people who are overly paranoid....................

Why do you think there is so much "news" about "Terror" "Your going to get bombed!!" "Teenagers murder"

Scare tactics to alter your perceptions in order to further an agenda.

Your probably the kind of person that when told something like that will say without evening thinking "Your an idiot, that's the most stupid thing I've ever heard"

Maybe you should take a look in the mirror and ask yourself, are you a free man? or a slave?

OcUK should start selling Tinfoil hats, looks like they will be a best seller!!!
Tinfoil hats are for people who think <insert secret conspirators here> are using Secret Mind Rays to affect their thoughts.

Do you really think that the posts here are on that level? If so, why?
 
I care, I will also get on with my life and enjoy it. But I will also defend our rights, even if you don't think they need defending.

Same here.

It depends on your view on life as to whether or not you can enjoy it without being able to do anything.

I for one am not happy with just "carrying on".
 
What and in a few years time have my details sold to anyone who will pay? Like the DVLA database?

Innocent until proven guilty or guilty unless you can come up with an alibi because some computer is saying you're guilty?
 
^^
Of course you have, how about insurance?
how about agencies like csa or what ever will be around in the future.
How about the cost? the lack of security.
