Obviously this cretin must have had a police record for them to have his DNA on file, it is through this that the police were able to trace him and bring this piece of pond life to justice.

With this in mind the question that must be asked is "should everyone's DNA be on file"?

So let me get this straight Judderman, by your reckoning English people are less likely to be violent criminals? You know that's not historically or even contemporarily true right?
No to compulsory mass DNA screening.

It offends the libertarian in me.

The mugger, Richard Christie - are you sure he was an immigrant?

I can't find any reference to him being an immigrant in the report. Did you get that info from another newspaper, or online somewhere?

Not saying you're wrong...it's just that I might have missed it (admittedly, I scanned the report in the link twice, but pretty quickly...).

/// 2. More importantly, once the information is stored, we would have to be sure that it could not be used against us by any future government or government agency...for the rest of our live. How do we know how that information could be used in the future? How do we know that some 'progressive' government would not licence the information to a third party for a fee - such as health providers, or the insurance industry? ///

Lets put this 'usual excuse' to an end, shall we?

If some 'future Government' did get in power, they could make it compulsory for our DNA to be collected for their records anyway, so they could still use it against us.

As regards the rest well it seems that all records are 'unsafe' so why bother keeping them?

/// I don't understand how people of AOG's age who fought so hard for liberty are happy to just give it away now. ///

This has nothing to do with the loss of liberty, even "when we were fighting hard for liberty" as you put it, we still all had to carry ID.

We still have to be 'registered' at birth.

We still have to have a NI number

Also if one drives a car, wishes to travel to another country, be eligible to vote, we all need to go down on some form of a data base, and then are we not compelled to fill in a census form?

"If some 'future Government' did get in power, they could make it compulsory for our DNA to be collected for their records anyway"

That would be an extremely difficult 'sell'.
