National DNA Database Compulsary?

[Ruprect]

Personally I'm sickened that this ever came to a national debate. What do you think your government is there for?

There was a good piece in the observer yesterday about this - pointing out that both of the offenders were picked up due to the fact that they had committed other crimes.

We need a government that is representative of the people and respectful of their privacy. This government is the opposite of that. New Labour New Socialism - we're currently sleepwalking towards an Orwellian police state. Please lets do something about it before its too late.

My gut reaction is to say no to national sampling as I have done nothing wrong - but if because of this someone went undetected to commit another crime is that right?

No it's not.

I understand what you are saying, yes, what if someone who is realised early commits another crime, what if someone who social services fail to assess properly and make a poor decision is realised early and commits crime, no one can argue with this.

All these stories tell me, when I read them, is the drastic failing of our once proud services who are now struggling in an overcrowded overcommitted country.

I think it would be all too easy for everyone to turn on the blinkers and not see this argument for what it is, from the position of the government, one quick solution to solve all problems. What an arrogant lazy assumption.

Bottom line, at no point should the liberties of the masses be sacrificed for the criminal few.

PS. Queenie would you please sack your government, they are failing those who they are meant to serve.

All valid points... but if, God forbid something untoward happened to your kids would you be so negative?

If we had a Yorkshire Ripper style serial killer on the loose (and remember he innocent women too) would it not be helpful in tracking down the suspect before he killed again?

Why do people insist on dragging up this emotional chestnut?

Think of the kiddies, oh my god think of the kiddies!!!!

Get ****ed!

Anyone who is against a national DNA database is effectively giving the green light to criminals to kill all our children and rape our wives. Something like that.

Because the most emotional crimes are those that involve children who are unable to physically defend themselves and rely on adults to protect them

The rest tends to be the usual outside the kebab shop Saturday night type stuff

HTH

Most children are killed by people who are well-known to them and in fact related to them.

And most rapes are done by men well-known to the woman.

I know. But without the emotional blackmail, how are the New Lie going to reach their dystopian goals?

[Troll]

Most children are killed by people who are well-known to them and in fact related to them

and they are the ones that are usually easy to solve with existing techniques.

It's the attacks by strangers that this (mainly) would address

So it's the fault of the immigrants.... like it!
