An indispensable means to fighting crime?
A threat to civil liberties?
Advances in DNA technology has revolutionised the way the police can protect the public. The creation of a Police DNA Database has helped them to identify offenders and secure convictions such as in the case of Sarah Payne. Crimes which had previously been unsolved for several years have now been solved.
At present, a DNA sample is taken at a person's arrest and the information is kept indefinitely - even if the person is not found guilty of the offence.
There are now calls for the DNA Database to be expanded to include everyone living and visiting the UK.
