One in four DNA profiles could be of innocents

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstop ... cents.html


	Quote: Figures obtained under the Freedom of Information show that of 4,668 DNA profiles obtained by Cumbria police between December 2008 and January this year 1,319 people – or 28 per cent – had no further action taken against them. However only 12 profiles have since been deleted.


	Quote: Campaign group Big Brother Watch, which submitted the FOI request, warned that under current system it is virtually impossible to comply with new laws, required under the European human rights rules, that demand records of innocent people be removed after six months.

If they cannot comply with the laws regarding deleting records of innocents then they should not be allowed to add any more until they can do so.

Who said the DNA profiles obtained were human samples

Thing is.. I just don't trust them to delete them, I want someone to be able to verify they are deleted
