I agree, MF. The UK became a de facto police state the date the government gave its agents (the police) the power to detain a citizen without having to provide that citizen with any reason or explanation or, worse, without having to have any reason beyond the whim of the arresting officer.

The DNA database is an infringement of civil liberties within a police state.
New Labour has completely underminded democracy in this country!!!!

What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty.
He was stopped by a police range-rover for "speeding". The police officer asked if my brother had been drinking. He said he'd had a couple of pints. The policeman breathylised my brother using the old "blow in the bag" test as the electronic system he carried was "broken". The test proved positive. My brother was taken to the police station and tested using calibrated equipment. He passed this test. The arresting officer was told of the situation and was overheard saying to the desk-sergeant, "Surely you can do him for something, have you checked him against the PNC?".
During the booking in process, my brother was finger printed and DNA tested.
He's not been proved guilty of any offence but his DNA is now on the database - is this acceptable?
I'll answer the last question for you, no it fecking isn't!

If the police can take the time to caution someone then they should take the bloody time to bring a case against them! Some of those cautions handed out to those who have been in the news recently are absolute jokes!

Threaded Old Boy, they do!
