That old rubbish about "if you've got nothing to hide why worry" doesn't wash in a civilised country! I'm talking HUMAN RIGHTS which seems OK if you're talking about Muslim terrorist but no one else!

Not only that. The government intends for everybody's details, including fingerprints and DNA, on one database. Along with your National Insurance details etc. Big brother has arrived.

thats a disgrace but it doesnt surprise me , recently they were doing trials in england and wales where they were randomly stopping cars and biometricly fingerprinting people with a hand held unit , they said this info is remotely sent to the police database and checks your details they said the print was not held or saved BULLSHIT !!! lets be honest 90 % of the population has no fingerprints on record so what would they match the print with????? the data base was odviously storeing the info sent to them .
for starters what right has a police officer got to randomly stop anyone "they work for us"to protect us that is there role , if ive broken the law fair enough but otherwise im not gonna be treated like a supect 24/7.
for those that say ive got nothing to hide , thats not the point and you need to wake up right NOW . when this system goes in place where you pay for everything with your finger biometricly everything you buy will be traced and put into the government central data base and every move you will make from cctv cameras with face recognition and the devices in your cars that will charge you by the mile and track you everywhere you go . TOTAL POLICE STATE our freedoms are at risk NOW.
" those people that give away nesesary libertys for temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security" Benjamin Franklin
an American quote but says it all , this has all been implamented because of 7/7 and and 9/11 and whaen you realise that 7/7 doesnt add up and 9/11 was an inside job( demolition) you soon realise why they are doing all this and how it is shaping our lives but do the majority even notice.

So if your a law abiding citizen and you've broken no laws, they are going to keep your fingerprints and DNA on file.
But what if your an illegal immigrant and you have no National insurance number or are not know by the authorities, who's going to be able to trace them if they have no record of them even being here ? Sounds to me that your better off living outside the law. Dictatorship hits the nail on the head !!

The United States of America has been doing that for years. Many professions require fingerprinting to hold a license. If you have nothing to hide what is the big deal??
If you lost a loved one to a violent crime wouldn't you want to know that the person responsible may already be in the system?? If there was a new teacher at school wouldn't you want to know their fingerprints have been checked and they are not pedophiles or criminals of any sort?? I love knowing that my children are safer.

The general concept of an "over intrusion" to ones lives is not what many think. Law enforcement around the globe maintain "files" on people, not for the purpose of an invasion of their privacy, but because the information is there, it's useful in the elimination process, and ultimately solves the heinous crimes that occur. It bothers me not one bit to know that my DNA or fingerprints are on file with an investigative agency. Why not? Because I know my data will exonerate me as a suspect.

The UK is one of few EU countries that DOESN'T have such details recorded. I'm just about to get my residencia card for Spain, and will have to have my fingerprints taken. I have no probelms with that, I also felt, when I lived in the UK, that ID cards would be a GOOD THING. If you are the average law abiding citizen, which the vast majority are, then you should have NO problems with such info being kept, only law breakers and those with something to hide will have a problem.

Yes it is!! I am also in such a position. I was accused of stealing from my 93yr old aunt who I had looked after for the previous 5 years.This was a revenge attack on me after a blazing row and fall out and a chance for my neurotic cousin to get revenge for a similar fallout.He took over looking after her. I am considering legal action against the Police for wrongful arrest as my aunt has a medical condition which causes her to get these fixed ideas on theft and my cousin for malicious attack. Needless to say there was no evidence to support the charges but my dna profile and fingerprints remain on file despite my request to have them removed .The record will only be used for comparisons and not divulged to any third party but I am not happy with the situation

As for the DNA pattern, the police might save them as long as they %. For fingerprints, they are better than probably interior the device international now, so they might have them consistently.

It's nothing the US government hasn't been doing for years. The UK is rapidly heading towards US-style leadership.

Why is everybody so worried about a database, I would be quiet happy to be swabbed and printed if it would help solves crimes quicker.
What would be so wrong about DNA samples and finger prints from birth and all immigration and travel into and out of the country.
I do not understand what the problem is unless everybody against the idea is planning or has committed a crime!
