DNA database

[gary baldy]

Remember our thread about a DNA datbase a while back?
Well it seems they are building one up without our knowledge anyway - whatever we think of it.

The freedoms you don't object to me losing today, takes the power of authority one step closer to infringing the freedoms you do prize tomorrow, assuming freedom means more to you than a word following freedman in the dictionary.
I suspect there are many people who would also be quite happy to alter innocent until proven guilty, to guilty until you prove your innocence. I mean its only a form of words, isn't it?

Beautifully put Drusilla.

If there was a DNA database and I wanted to kill someone, all I would need, to set poor old Ward-Minter shall we say up for it, would be a cigarette butt he'd discarded for instance.Plant that at the scene of the crime and if he has no alibi he's going down.DNA evidence isn't just open to misuse by the Police but by criminals as well.

Mr nox, I can see where you came from with PIRA. Mildly amusing in a non-condescending way.

Mr Kempie thank you for the link.
