DNA made compulsory?

[kwicky]

The police have now 5 million UK citizens tested for DNA. Do you believe that the rest of the country should be tested and stored? Do you think it should be done at birth so there would be no breaches?

If it could save just one life including the killings of these prostitutes it would prove its worth!

As the government are committed to ID cards a national DNA database would complement this. Illegal immigrants either need to work or to claim benefits. They should be made to supply a sample either at the place of work or the job centre. A swab is taken from inside the cheek and matched with fingerprints/iris scans so easily carried out.
And could be enforced by random inspections.

Random inspections are now carried out on farms and also in the building trade so would be an extension of this.

Criminals and illegal immigrants thrive on privacy, don't put yourself in this bracket!

Yes and yes. The sooner this happens the better.
