DNA Datenbankputzlappen über 100.000

Mehr als 100.000 Leute in Kent sind der DNA Datenbank in den letzten fünf Jahren hinzugefügt worden, die es aufgedeckt worden ist. Entsprechend den Abbildungen, die unter der Freiheit der Informationen Tat freigegeben wurden, wurden 103.830 Proben genommen und mehr als ein Viertel waren von den Leuten unter 18.

Alle gesammelte DNA wird dauerhaft auf der nationalen Datenbank gespeichert.

Det Unterstützung Colin Croucher, der Kent Polizei, sagte, daß die Putzlappenproben regelmäßig in den Fällen von Burglary und von Trägerverbrechen benutzt wurden.

“And of course it was very significant in the case of the M25 rapist a few years back,” he added.

Mr Croucher said the force was keen to ensure that it had “the best opportunity to be able to use DNA appropriately and to have DNA samples on record.

“So where the law’s allowed us to take those samples, we’ve taken them,” he said.

DNA collected ranges from people who voluntarily give police a swab in order to eliminate themselves from investigations, to convicted rapists and murderers.

Since 2004, the data of everyone arrested for a recordable offence in England and Wales - all but the most minor offences - has remained on the system regardless of their age, the seriousness of their alleged offence, and whether or not they were prosecuted.

Opponents are worried about the number of innocent people whose data is still on file even though they have not been charged with a crime

Phil Booth, of the NO2ID campaign against identity cards, said: “This policy of putting on DNA samples and DNA profiles that shouldn’t necessarily be there is undermining the matching process itself.

“There’s the danger that someone may be fingered incorrectly, and it’s already beginning to happen.”
