No! No! And thrice No! Is it just me or is the slide into a 1984 police state accelerating at and increasingly alarming speed. |

Yes. My concern is if you are not a criminal and not on the fingerprint data base how on earth do they then identify you? DNA? Or is your finger print added to the police database? |

Although less than 1/6 the population have fingerprints on record, I guess that for those who would be checked because of suspcion the number would a lot different. However. No, no, no! Are there any political parties planning to increase our freedoms in the next election? |

I'd much rather that than a bloody ID card. Far less likely to be arrested for not carrying your fingers than not carrying a card. Less likely to be arrested = greater liberty. |

It is also much cheaper. Plus if you do not do anything to get stopped in the first place that is good. But if the police look at this as a way to start added data to the fingerprint database then public opinion could turn against it. |

If a policeman tries to take my DNA or fingerprints without a good reason then he's going to have a bloody good fight on his hands.

I would probably refuse and force them to arrest me. I would then probably proceed with a wrongful arrest complaint and sue them. I am not the sort of person who does naughty things so really should not be harassed in such a way. |

You haven't needed to be naughty to be harassed in this country in a long time. This is [LIFTED]. And they wonder why nobody trusts them. |

Overall I have no issues PROVIDED that some controls are set in law - Copies are not retained / added to the fingerprint database - They must have reasonable cause to ask - The Chief constable of a force is sacked if its overused |

I think there's more chance to policemen gaining the power of levitation than those restrictions coming into force. Jon |

+1 but who honestly thinks that its over use will lead to the sacking of the Chief Constable? A better solution is a £1000 deducted permanently from the budget of any police force for each case that shows it was not reasonable to ask for it. |
