many of whom have never been arrested or charged with any offence, and have virtually no powers to get their sample destroyed

scary i think so
personally only those convicted of serious offences should be on police DNA records

this has been done for years
40,000 are added every month and it's getting faster.....
Why?
*knock knock*
'may we speak to stargalaxy?'
Ooops.
Back on point, that doesn't sit well with me. I can't eloquently put my finger on why but it really makes me uneasy.
It's how it's used that is the worry.
It would be a worry however if that information was to fall into the wrong hands or be used for anything dodgy!
Agreed with everything that's been mentioned here.
people who have never been convicted of crimes are on it, people who have never been charged are on it, with little or no way of getting themselves removed from it
you either operate one for people convicted of serious crimes, one for everyone in uk, or none at all in my opinion - at the moment we have neither and id only like to see the serious crimes one
someone will be working out how to acsess that information right now but ...
thers nothing we can do about it.
our technology is pushing us down this road.
electronics manufacturers haven't managed to produce much else of anythoing the domestic customer will want to buy ...for a couple of years now.
we all have sophisticated communications audio visual etc.
but ...the miniturisation of imaging and tracking and recognition hardware and it's reletive cheapness means ...someones going to buy it ...from small businesses upwards.
survielance and security are npow huge industries ...so your screwed.
