George --------------------------- And in at least one case innocent close relatives were very nearly convicted of murder, I would not be surprised if there are other cases where the people were convicted. I think it was David Davies who suggested that it might be more profitable if they first collected DNA from people who had previously been convicted of offences especially ones who were released early and so the authorities can probably force them to do so. I just dread the number of false matches there are going to be if they ever get their way and have DNA from the whole population. We all know this government's record with large databases. |
