I've had my fingerprints and DNA sample taken. Should I be worried ?

"Personally I'm all for a compulsory national DNA database, but I understand why people find that idea outrageous."
As am I, and ID cards as well, unfortunately I don't believe we will ever achieve the required levels of honesty and integrity in the mechanisms of governance and authority required to be trusted with administering it.
Because ID cards are a sure fire way of reducing crime.

From the OP:
I gave the police some information on a couple of unusual things I've seen recently
This!
have you seen just how often the murderer turns out to be someone who came forward as someone helpful, offering information, assisting with the case etc.

When a murder occurred in our town I was in the same area when it occurred. They'd already arrested someone (who was later charged and convicted) but as a good citizen I phoned the police and told them I'd seen someone on a bike nearby at that time.
Copper came round, asked me if I minded giving DNA and prints and I said no as long as they were destroyed afterwards, and then he took 'em. Said he wasn;t interested in the milk bottle full of sperm I produced for him.

1) You can't be convicted on DNA evidence alone, there has to be something else.
2) If DNA from a crime scene matches someone on the database, a new sample is taken from that person and compared against the crime scene sample. The info on the database, or the original sample, are not used as evidence.

And that's when they want my milk bottle full of sperm?

Am I paranoid..
This "If you don't have anything to hide, why does that matter?" gets wheeled out every time something controlling is attempted to to be imposed on us all...
Id cards
Biometric passports
Black boxes in cars to check speed or whatever
GPS tags for everyone to track where we are
Number plate recognition for the whole of the country and road pricingSure there must be others...
Piss boiler for me...

I'm sure this is the sort of thing investigating officers find really distressing when they're sure of your guilt because of DNA evidence...

Personally, I'm all in favour of cars being speed limited to that set for the road they're travelling on.
being prevented from breaking the law is hardly a civil liberties infringement, is it?

Ah - but I was the one using that phrase, to argue the opposite point. It was in response to somebody suggesting them not giving a sample makes them look suspicious - well in that case there is no initial evidence against them, so it makes sense not to provide something which might spuriously be used as evidence in some future case.

MidlandTrailquestsGraham from your previous thread on this subject (I don't want to start a witch hunt or accusations etc) however you are behaving quite odd over this murder.
Why?

Privacy is considered a civil liberty.
And anyway, holding someone captive prevents them from breaking the law - is this an infringement of civil liberty?Posted 4 months ago # -
hora from Graham's first post;
they asked permission to take my fingerprints and DNA sample, so I agreed.
