  • Rules allowing police forces to keep the fingerprints and DNA samples of innocent people are unlawful, says the UK Supreme Court.

    The decision comes nearly three years after the European Court of Human Rights came to a similar conclusion.

    Judges said government plans for changes to the law were already in the pipeline. The ECHR ruled that the guidelines did not differentiate between criminals and people who had never been convicted.

    BBC News – DNA and fingerprint guidelines ‘unlawful’

    i think the two (criminals and people that haven’t been convicted) should be made clearly seperate but to be honest, i don’t have any issue with having my finger prints and DNA on a database, even though i’ve never committed a crime. i don’t really get why people are so touchy about it. but then again i don’t understand the negatives of that. maybe if i did then i would have issues with it, but to me it just makes it seem like we’d all be safer (which is important to me cos i watch crimewatch and now everytime i get on a bus i’m scared that i’m sitting next to a paedophile or a rapist).
