人們增加到政府的全國脫氧核糖核酸數據庫以率的超過一个每分鐘，圖從自由派民主黨人顯露了。

他們的研究表示， 547,020外形去年增加了，等值62 1小時，導致要求部長採取英國入「輕率的倉促」往監視狀態，當數字在有爭議的警察紀錄名列前茅四百萬。

昨天人類遺傳學委員會，一個政府支持的監視人，展開了主要詢問入對脫氧核糖核酸紀錄的用途由警察。 Due to report in the spring, it will look at the size of the DNA database, the large number of black men whose samples are recorded, and the difficulties in removing samples once they are entered into the system.

It emerged that senior police officers have warned the database might criminalise law-abiding people. Alex Marshall, Deputy Chief Constable of Thames Valley, said in a response to the Home Office’s review of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act that “extending the taking of samples to all offences may be perceived as indicative of the increasing criminalisation of the generally law-abiding citizen”.

A spokeswoman for the Commission for Racial Equality said: “Statistics paint a frightening picture. Black men are four times more likely than white men to have their DNA profiles stored in the police national DNA database. In the interests of fairness we would like to call for DNA profiles to be limited to those that are convicted only.”

The Home Office insists that the DNA database - the largest in the world - is a vital tool in the fight against crime. But critics warn that the system could lead to discrimination against ethnic minorities. Nick Clegg, the Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, who obtained the figures, said: “The Government’s onward march towards a surveillance state has now become a headlong rush. They seem determined to hoover up the DNA details of as many people as they can, regardless of guilt or innocence.”
