The BBC
dutifully report the headline news that:
"Ministers are to trim up to 850,000 DNA profiles from the current total of 4.5m on a national database after a court ruled innocent people must be removed."
The detail that follows shows this Labour government up for having the totalitarian instincts of a fascist government:
"Those arrested, but later released or acquitted, will have their profiles wiped after between six and 12 years. "
One point - these are innocent people why should their DNA profiles be kept for even six years why not have the profiles deleted within three months (surely long enough even for this Government to achieve with whatever crap database they have paid over the odds for.
