Well yea, DNA can be use­ful it’s true. We could catch more one-off and long-period crimes if we DNA’d every­one in the world. Or at least the UK. Our cops like to go for a nice easy pop­ulist solu­tion and most gov­ern­ments, Blair’s cer­tainly, and per­haps Browns (?) like­wise. So the pro­posal to DNA sam­ple any­one who drops lit­ter parks ille­gally or “looks a bit funny”, just in case, seems like a bit of a no brainer.

Hence the opin­ions of our ‘no brain’ con­stab­u­lary (and, remem­ber here, that Geeklawyer’s brother is a mem­ber of the Met­ro­pol­i­tan Filth and knows whereof he speaks) who always like lots of pow­ers ‘cos they may just ‘be of some use’.

Recent news reports have it that our use­less filth want to have the power to keep DNA of every­one, includ­ing even those who ask them the time — ‘just in case’; and they sup­port it on the con­tention that no-one who comes to the police’s atten­tion can be truly ‘inno­cent’. If they were, goes the rea­son­ing, then they wouldn’t have done so in the first place and this means that they may have crim­i­nal ten­den­cies, latent or otherwise.

This is a fair argu­ment. Geeklawyer has dropped lit­ter it’s true. And has got­ten away with it. As a result, he has been encour­aged to com­mit a string of rapes in his area, four mur­ders and two inci­dents of non-reporting of tax­able income. Had the police had the power to DNA test him when he asked the way to the town hall last week then this egre­gious tale of pecu­niary malfea­sance and sex­ual car­nage could have been stopped in its tracks. All you civil lib­er­ties do good­ers are respon­si­ble for the suf­fer­ing that Geeklawyer caused.
If only every­one in the UK were DNA sam­pled, how much crime could we detect? If only every­one in the UK could have a GPS track­ing and audio mon­i­tor­ing tool installed in their heads, how much suf­fer­ing of inno­cents could we pre­vent? And how many falsely accused inno­cent peo­ple could we pro­vide ali­bis for? Frankly, it’s a crim­i­nal dere­lic­tion of duty not to tag and DNA sam­ple every­one on the planet.

By which Geeklawyer means, of course, every­one but politicians.

Because it seems that while DNA sam­pling is rou­tine in all record­able offences, includ­ing attempts to per­vert and cor­rupt democ­racy in the UK, not every­one is sub­ject to this indig­nity. Ruth Turner and Lord Levy who were recently arrested in con­nec­tion with alleged attempts to secure knight­hoods in exchange for dona­tions to Neo-Labour (which they were they claim ‘inno­cent’ of) were not DNA tested it seems; not in the same way we lesser peo­ple would have been.

The Met­ro­pol­i­tan Filth said that “tak­ing DNA does not hap­pen in every case”.

No, indeed. And least of all in a case where you are a sleazy cor­rupt mem­ber of the government.
