Man jailed for Ripper deception

"His identity was discovered 25 years later when his DNA, taken after a minor offence, was matched against saliva on an envelope sent to detectives. "
I dont want to get into a debate about the stupidty of what this fella did (arguably indirectly costing the lives of an extra couple of women through his actions) but what does concern me is the use of DNA evidence the coppers took after a minor offence.
It cannot be right that DNA samples are taken after a minor offence and stored in a database to be used forever more.
They will be taking DNA samples at birth next.
