Today the BBC was awash with a news story about two men fighting at the European Court of Human Rights, to have their DNA removed from the UK's National Crime Data Base. In ‘The ONE show’ they interviewed the father of a murdered girl Sally Anne Bowman. Of course you will win the public’s sympathy vote that way, but laws made in over-reaction to dramatic events like the Soham Murders, the Ipswich murders and this girl's case later come back and bite us in the bum. The Police forget the mention constantly that the murderers they find that way are convicted murders who should be on that data base. How many crimes were solved by matching DNA to innocent people who happened to be on this data base for all the wrong reasons? http://www.bbc.co.uk/theoneshow/article/2008/02/jr_dna.shtml Join discussion...
