The way I see it, if you get raped and the rapist is on the dna database, they will almost definately be identified and caught.

If you die and your body is horribly damaged beyond recognition and you’re on the dna database then you will be identified.

It’s stupid to assume that only previous offenders will commit a crime and need to be caught. I’d like to think that if someone murdered me then their dna would be on the database and they’d be easily identified by traces left at my murder scene.

So why is it that you’re actually against dna archiving? is it just privacy? ‘cos that’s quite selfish considering rapists and murderers are still free because there is no dna sample which could identify them.

Almost every murder and rape leaves behind some trace of dna from the culprit. having everyone on the database means that hardly any rapists or murderers will go free. Doesn’t that sound good, or is your privacy more important?

Under our laws no one is guilty until proved so therefore no one should have their details, including DNA, taken and used against them except when they are charged. Once, if your finger prints were taken they would be destroyed if you were either discharged or found innocent. Now it seems that if you are involved with either as a witness or victim, all these details are kept forever! Why? Twenty years and more ago, This country cried out against this if it happened in foreign countries. Now our government wants it to be norm here! MPs should remember (if they ever thought about it) that they work for us. We pay their salaries! We do not belong to them! They should not use what authorities we allowed them, to walk over our rights. The decision over this should be put forward in a referendum not taken as it has.</p> This intrusion into every ones private life is totally out of order.
