Will this be the title of a future post? It could be the final event in the ever increasing progress by the UK government and police to capture the DNA of the entire UK’s population.
If Kath Mashiter, of Lancashire police, and Brian Pincher, of Norfolk police get their way this is what might happen after they manage to get the law changed to capture the DNA of speeders & litter louts even before they have been prosecuted!
The English and Welsh police already have the power to take your DNA when you’re arrested and keep it (forever) even if you’re not charged with any offense!
The government has announced that it will open a public debate on this subject, but if it goes the way of past debates, in my opinion it will be another white wash and in the end, it will result in the title of this post becoming a reality before very long.
