Would you give your DNA to the Police?
Discussion
Absolutely not. Never. I dont care what the crime was that they were investigating, as i simply couldnt/wouldnt/wont/cant trust them to keep their word and destroy the samples and info afterwards.....i mean, why would they want to do a thing like that for? Another 4000 on the "national" id card....oooops i mean DNA database for free.
Do people really think theyll throw all that info down the bog just cos you ask them to?
These are the same people (police forces) who are sitting in speed vans and putting out lies and intimidatory threats to deny people a legitimate idea of a defence, and suddenly they need our co-operation?
NO! Youll have to kill me first.

I've seen some of the 
ups that happen in hospital labs with samples, despite everything I doubt forensic labs are much better. Some of the muppets they have working for them as technicians is astouding. Then again if you pay someone 12k a year you can't expect the countries best scientists! On that basis I wouldn't trust them at all no.

is this the sally anne bowman murder?
I would if it helps catch the scumbag. They have his DNA from a previous sex attack in that area too.
I believe so. Do you not worry about what happens to your DNA afterward?
no not really....if i ever do something worthy of them needing to use my DNA then it's tough poo on me.....In my job, i'm just a number anyway, i get regularly drug tested, already have an ID card and lead a restricted life, so something like this means very little to me.
No, if they want my DNA they have to charge me with something first.
An aside, but when I was a kid we were given a tour of the local Police station through my school. One of the cops demonstrated how fingerprints were taken and most of the kids excitedly lined up to be printed. I then noticed that the print forms were then being carefully put under the desk by the cop instead of being either given back to the kids or being destroyed. I told my teacher about it and she made the cop give the forms to her, which she later burned.

Yes. I have no problem with that. PROVIDING it is NOT held for any other purposes.
That's the rub. If that "sleepwalking into dictatorship" Despatches is to be believed, the Police are neglecting to dispose of DNA samples taken from people who are subsequently proven to be innocent.

The BiB are ILLEGALLY holding over 4 million DNA samples which they "said" they'd destroy..... according to Channel 4's Dispatches programme.....
In a word I'd tell them in no uncertain terms to F off
