I know that a persons DNA is personal (by that mean that there are no two people the same) and everybody had to go on a register with their DNA for security purposes.
A crime was committed and a DNA sample was taken at the scene and I was not involved. What are the chances that DNA was the same as mine?
NO chance or a slim chance?
Any answers appreciated

Yes, it is the best and the safest. Even the bodies or their remnant can be determined by the DNA testing.

The chances are virtually zero of your DNA matching that found at the crime scene. You shouldn't be worried unless you did it. Or, as someone else said, if you have an identical twin, and THEY committted the crime, then your DNA would be the same. But your defence attorney would have the easiest job in the world getting both of you off because it couldn't be proven from DNA which of you did it. That wouldn't be justice, but it would be legally correct.

Almost no chance if you never visited the scene of the crime. Theoretically, someone could have unknowingly moved one of your hairs or something to the scene of the crime, but I seriously doubt it. There is no chance that your DNA is the same as the criminal's, unless the criminal was your twin brother.

In theory, if you have an identical twin, he/she would have DNA that's identical to yours. However, in reality, even that twins' DNA would differ slightly, because of small mutations in growing.
So, if DNA at a crime scene matches yours, you're in trouble.

NO chance.. each person's dna is personal, like you said... which means no one had/has/will have the same as yours

No chance in hell unless you are the culprit.
