I was arrested when i was 18 for being drunk and disorderly. I did not cause any damage, resist arrest, and was COMPLETELY unaware of my rights when i was at the police station. I am now FULLY aware of what privacy is available in the U.K (none...), and i wish to get my details removed from their systems.

Like the above answer said after the law changed everyone who is arrested, and also incidentally all those working in the public sector, the police included have to give a DNA sample. This is stored for future elimination reasons.
If for example there is a burglary and someone describes you, the picks you out in a lineup you're screwed. However if they find someone else's DNA there and not yours it's easier to prove you weren't there.
Besides, if you haven't done anything since, why does it matter that the government know who you are....? What have you been upto?

Unfortunately no you cant, its been decided by some halfwit in Whitehall that it would be a good idea to keep DNA samples from everyone that gets arrested in the UK to form a database to compare to whenever a serious crime is commited. Lets face it if you get arrested for being pissed your bound one day to commit mass murder aren't you? Its ridiculous i know but since when did politicians have a shred of common sense?

No since the introduction of The Criminal Justice Act 2003 all persons taken into custody within the UK will have their DNA and fingerprints taken for identification and elimination purposes and will subsequently have them recorded as part of the national crime prevention databases.

I think the answer is NO. The police now have technology to separate out DNA samples and are currently building up a massive database of unsolved crimes, which the new technology will enable them to solve. Your DNA will be checked and if it fits, you'll get arrested.

No, there is always a record somewhere. Even when they let you have them back (after having a lawyer file for the records) there is a copy somewhere.
Plus in your situation there is no way to file for your records back anyway since you did it and it seems was convicted. File for records return usually happens after the case is dropped either dismissed or A.C.D. (adjournment contemplation dismissal, or something like that).

Well it isn't fair but you cannot get them back, they are stored on a national database and the Data Protection Act has a clause for access to certain records people keep on us, particularly legal ones.

no- they will always be there so that if you do committ a crime in the future they will know who it is as they can match fingerprints and DNA with whats on the database.
