Inside England and Wales' DNA Regime

Sockatume writes "The UK's Human Genetics Commission has published its report on the collection of DNA by the Police forces in England and Wales. Currently, Police collect DNA from every suspect in a case which could lead to a criminal record, and retain that material, which the European Court of Human Rights has ruled illegal. The government plans to keep all DNA samples for suspects from England, Wales and Northern Ireland for up to six years, except for DNA from individuals arrested during terrorism-related investigations, which will be retained forever. The report states that the police frequently performed arrests solely to collect DNA, that certain demographics (such as young, black men) were 'very highly over-represented,' that there was 'very little concrete evidence' that the DNA database had any actual use in investigating crime, and that the database contained material from individuals arrested in Scotland and Northern Ireland, outside its remit. Of the 4.5m individuals in the database, a fifth have never received any convictions or cautions from the Police. The report recommends that an independent advisory body oversee the database, and that laws be passed to limit the uses of the database, while tracking those with access to it, and making misuse of the information a criminal offence."

bend over and take it

Will any of you fight this intrusion into your persons by force? What's that? No? Even the Taliban are brave enough to try to defend their way of life against the demeaning incursions of the USA/British/Israeli Axis, but when it comes to the victims in the Home countries, well you just bend over for it every time. This is why I will always admire organizations like Hezbollah more than you, even if I don't agree with all of their ideas - at least they have the balls to stand up against your violent and intrusive regimes and define their cultures in opposition to it. Since none of you will ever go to the lengths necessary to protect your rights and human dignity, you had better pray to God that the economic collapse happens sooner than later and cuts off the ability of your malignant regimes to continue these debauches.

When the USSR fell, it fell largely peacefully - but I expect the US/UK/Israeli Axis regimes to wage total war on their own people before fading from history.

Just wait for the health insurance bill to pass. This will give the Obama administration access to everyones health records, DNA, as well as another 1/6 of their salary. He will have the capability to deny you and your family health care for whatever reason he wants.

So be sure to vote for the "right" candidates (democrates only), obey their rules (you must weigh the correct amount, no smoking or drinking allowed, popcorn is forbidden, no meat, etc). Or you can become a democratic senator, and the laws will not apply to you. You can even drown someone, and nobody will ever care.
