Outrageous nonsense from the UK
Police deny targeting kids for DNA
Police officers in Camden, north London, are deliberately targeting kids under-18 for arrest just so their DNA samples can be taken.
The Met denies any such action has taken place, but an anonymous police officer told The Ham and High: “It is part of a long term crime prevention strategy. We are often told that we have just one chance to get that DNA sample and if we miss it that might mean a rape or a murder goes unsolved in the future.
“Have we got targets for young people who have not been arrested yet? The answer is yes. But we are not just waiting outside schools to pick them up, we are acting on intelligence. If you know you have had your DNA taken and it is on a database then you will think twice about committing burglary for a living.”</em>
What an incredible invasion of the liberties of children. Outrageous “Minority Report” bullshit.
