Say they have chalices DNA on their computer, then they plant the DNA on the crime scene, then use the planted DNA as evidence in a court of law like.
it won't stop with a DNA database
they'll have to link it up with a national register - much like the Nazis had - which will contain your ethnicity, religion, and any information the government feels "appropriate"
alongside the DNA databas, an ID card will be forced on people, which will result in police stop-and-searches when one is out walking the dog
police frame-up? no problem. take a fleck of dandruff, and sprinkle it on a murdered body. bam! you're the murderer
lazy policing here we come
no it's called the National Identity Register, if you live in Britain, and has been scheduled to launch in 2010
ID cards will be forced onto the population between 2010 and 2012.

I'm sure there are loads of instances where people get arrested for something which they don'e agree should be a crime. How does a National DNA database change that.
Officer - Sir you are under arrest for the crime of bigamy
Moran - But I don't think bigamy should be a crime.
Officer - Fair enough, sorry for the inconvenience.
It doesn't work that way now, I don't see how the Government holding details of your DNA would change that
It's all gone a bit Gattaca around here. :ermm:
In principle I agree with JP. In practice I tend to agree with Chalice.
Therefore I will just continue to take the piss out of allen.
You knob. :pinch:
I definitely wouldn't vote for a system that makes people submit their DNA to the government.
The government can't be trusted to keep my national insurance number to itself, so I most certainly wouldn't entrust it with the details of my DNA. Can you imagine how much a DNA profile of everyone in the UK would be worth to, say, a health insurance company.
I don't trust the government's security measures enough to give them my DNA.
I'd like it if my Son had his DNA on record, it would be another way for me to look after him. If he went missing, the police would be able to tell if he had been somewhere. I'd like to have a chip in his mobile phone (if he had one) so I could tell if he was going to places that I'd rather he didn't. Further to that, I'd put a GPS chip in his neck so I could track him with my satnav. If I could. When he's old enough, I'll log all of his msn chats and check his internets history. I want to look after him and keep him safe, make sure that the decisions he's making are the right ones according to my values.
I don't want the government doing that to me. DNA records being kept for people without criminal records is a step in that direction.
The health insurance company thing is a worry, but my primary concern is about being cloned :fear:
It would rawk if I was cloned.
Think how much more interesting this forum would be if there were more of me.
Also, there would be sleeper clones of my good self, positioned strategically around the world - awakened to their true purpose only when a tachion pulse was sent around the world. Awakened only when world domination could be achieved.
Me and my clone minions > *.
good idea... but, the world would smell funny :dabs:

Good luck, Spud.
its just some security guard thing, they gave me a numeracy and literacy test a few weeks ago, i did really well on those, but i just worry about interviews so much that the only jobs i seem to get are through friends or shitty jobs nobody wants to do anyway.
^^Thats what i keep thinking, im gonna try too hard and fuck it up. I FUCKIN HATE INTRVIEWS!!!1111
Most of the literacy questions were trick questions anyway, but i guess they don't want people who've never been to school or something.
It was just the first thing they offered me, its not what im really looking for but it sounds alright for now.
:lol:
Trick questions like "can you spell your name?"
