由 夏恩・奧尼恩斯 | 謀殺、強姦和虐待兒童調查將被阻礙，如果法院裁決的歐洲人超過應該從英國的全國脫氧核糖核酸數據庫去除500,000個脫氧核糖核酸樣品，一位資深警察局長知道了 時代.

在他的第一次採訪從退休作為數據庫的主席， Tony湖發出了警告嚴肅的罪行將是未被發現，如果法官拒绝了警察存放被拘捕了，但不隨後被判了罪進攻人的脫氧核糖核酸。

lake， Lincolnshire，要考慮所有可能的選擇的敦促的部長的首要警察先生，如果法庭判決去反對英國。 「法律是法律。 我們簽了字由歐洲原則決定，并且我讚賞它為所有政府是非常困難的，但我們必須瞭解是自動地創造風險的水平，當您開始過濾和清洗您的脫氧核糖核酸數據庫時」，他說。

大臣』選擇是有限的，因為案件由人權，判決歐洲法院的盛大房間審理，其中約束和無法挑戰。 案件由2001年被拘捕并且有他們的指印，并且脫氧核糖核酸抽樣採取的二個人帶來從謝菲爾德。 他們爭辯說，因為他們未被判罪任何罪行，應該現在毀壞樣品。 他們的案件在英國的法院在2月被拒绝了，但由人權歐洲法院審理。 評斷下半年期望。

lake， 57先生，退休下個星期，說案件是最恰當的問題在法醫學和他駁回了辯論關於創造一個普遍脫氧核糖核酸數據庫作為一條熏鯡魚。 「您可能爭辯說，這是宣言問題。 如果有一次辯論關於擴展數據庫，則應該有一次全國辯論關於切口的後果它。 國家必須瞭解將有一種增加的風險到我們的能力解決罪行。

「它是潛在地毀滅的。 毫無疑問，它將防止各種各樣的罪行的偵查，包括某些最嚴肅」。

More than 8,000 people who were on the database because they had been arrested, but not convicted, have been found guilty of subsequent offences after their DNA was recovered from crime scenes. The cases have involved about 14,000 offences, including 114 murders, 55 attempted murders and 116 rapes.

The database holds 4.5 million samples and is by far the largest in Europe. About 60,000 personal samples are added to it every month and further unknown profiles are loaded from crime scenes. DNA samples, which are always supported in court by other corroborating evidence, played a key role in the conviction of Steve Wright, who killed five prostitutes in Ipswich, and Mark Dixie, the killer of the model Sally Anne Bowman. It has also helped police to solve “cold cases” including rape cases dating back decades. Mr Lake said: “There have been spectacular results in cases where lives have been shattered, where women have been afraid to walk out their front doors for fear of bumping into the man who raped them 10, 15 or 20 years before.”

The greatest unforeseen benefit of DNA advances, however, has been in solving so-called volume crime, such as burglaries, assaults and car thefts. Mr Lake said: “The public expectation now is that crime will be solved, not by the presence of witnesses, but because there will be DNA. It has stolen the limelight but we get more convictions through finding fingerprints. Other areas of forensic science are opening.”

His fear is that an adverse ruling would not only hurt the DNA database but also restrict the use of fingerprints and other intelligence databases. “The question would quickly become. ‘To what extent does the ruling apply to other databases?’.”

The key issue for Mr Lake is whether the court will consider the rights of victims properly. “People will accuse me of playing the emotional card. Well, I don’t do emotional blackmail. You have to think the unthinkable. I would not like to be the officer who has to look a parent in the eye and say, ‘We could have prevented this’.”

Equal treatment

The future of the world’s most sophisticated DNA database is being considered by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights, which draws its members from the nations of the Council of Europe.

The 17-judge panel trying the DNA case includes some with limited or no experience of DNA technology.

The complainants, Michael Marper, 45, and a 19-year-old man from Sheffield referred to only as S, are relying on article 8 (right to private life) and article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) of the convention.

The teenager had his DNA taken when he was arrested in 2001 and charged with attempted robbery. He was acquitted. Mr Marper, 45, was charged with harassing his partner but the case was later dropped. They argue “that as people without convictions who are no longer suspected criminals, they should be treated in the same way as the rest of the unconvicted population of the UK”.
