There have been calls for those accused of rape to have their names shielded from the public.
In this case (the death of Gaia Pop), what should the media do? Should they report the names of those who have been arrested/interviewed by the police?
As it now looks as if Gaia Pope committed suicide, do those who have had their names published by certain media outlets have a right to feel aggrieved - like those men accused of, but not convicted of rape/sexual assault?
^ Yes true but if they actually arrest you they will take your DNA.
If you are a 'person of interest' they will find a way to justify arresting you so that they can get your DNA.
The main point I was making was that you posted with 'authority' that anyone convicted or cautioned for ANY offence can have there DNA taken, which is completely not true.

Of course you're right, dave. The overwhelming majority of drivers convicted of driving offences never see the inside of a nick, let alone have their DNA taken.
Eddie, //Anyone convicted of or cautioned for any offence has their DNA stored permanently. This can be just for a minor motoring offence, so 35 in a 30 limit and your DNA is on record for life. //
