Sir Cliff Joins Fair Campaign......

.....but I think they should be campaigning for the anonimity to be permanent unless/until someone if found guilty and sentenced. I believe that should be the case for all crime, not just crimes of a sexual nature. I also believe that DNA should not be admissable as evidence and stipulations about it's use should be included in the caution when being arrested, along the lines of "You do not have to provide a sample of DNA, but failure to do so etc..."
I further believe, as stated on here recently, that anyone above the age of criminal responsibility, who becomes deceased, should have their DNA checked against the datbase of unsolved crimes, where such DNA is available.

[New Judge]

"Your DNA is who you are. It's yours and should remain so. Not become accessible to any authority who wants it."

Everything about you is "yours" - your DNA, your fingerprints, your colour, height , distinguishing features. To suggest that they remain "private" in the event of a criminal investigation is simply ridiculous. You are quite correct - the presence of someone's DNA does not prove they committed the crime. If you've ever witnessed a criminal trial you will understand that this is by no means the case.
