More news from the Approach of the Guilty Until Proved Innocent State desk: Police seek DNA record of everyone.
[Kevin Morris, chairman of the Police Superintendent's Association] said a compulsory database would enable the police to solve crimes more quickly, and prevent them happening.
In the name of seven different types of fuck, two of which are purely theoretical, HOW?! I give them a sample of DNA and they somehow magically know that some man is going to commit a crime a hundred miles away and in two days time? Did they all watch Minority Report with massive hard-ons? The police have no automatic right to attack my privacy unless they can show strong evidence that I have committed a crime.
Then there's this plan, following on from the Laming inquiry into the death of Victoria Climbié, that there will be file of information on every child in the UK. It seems unlikely that this plan won't be backed, in these modern times when parents have been conditioned to see a paedophile in every shadow it would be political suicide to stand against it, but if you follow the line on, combine this with the database on troublesome children and there's a lot of information that can go into their files to haunt them when they become adults in David Blunkett's ID card controlled future. Anyway, Sir john Stevens may be right about criminals sticking out in the future, they'll be the only ones with clean criminal records.
