UK Police to take DNA samples of suspects on the street

In The UK the Government cant go 'all dictatorship' on you.

The Armed forces owe allegiance to the Queen, not the Government.

Chorlton is right.
Plus, its impossible because the Monarchy holds a veto (even thou it hasn't been used in 200 years)..Queen was the last to use it in 1707.

Let me add to this by saying that once they have your DNA, they can plant your DNA. And they can plant it somewhere that you have never been and it doesn't matter how innocent you are... you'll be spending the rest of your days in jail.

Im sorry but that statement is so ridiculous as to be laughable.
Do you actually know what happens when DNA samples are taken?
Do you think they are all kept in little bottles in some secret laboratory or something?
Police DNA samples are stored as files on a computer once the DNA sequencing has been done.
How are they going to plant a computer file on something?

The days of storing physical DNA samples dissapeared quite a few years ago

It sounds like you actually trust your government.

There are agencies in the UK that watch the Government that I do trust but the idea of 'planting' DNA is hilarious.

I have absolutely no problem with this. If your innocent then what the hell have you got to worry about.

If you're innocent why do they need your DNA?

you saying you ave never ever commited anything close to being illegal?

like dropping litter, cigerette butts, parking on the street ) illegal since 1st car became public use).

Ever been in a bar when a fight started? Well now you have commited a public disorder offence. you were there.
