is this true... if you are arrested then they finger print you, photo you then take a dna, if then you are charged, go to court then have the evedence thrown out by the judge they are still allowed to keep you on all records, my friend says it is i have no idea
It isn't possible to make a clone with a DNA fingerprint. In fact, a DNA fingerprint provides *very* little information. It isn't to be confused with DNA codes bring mapped out. At best, it is just unique to an individual, and resembles DNA fingerprints of your blood relatives.
However, I still do not agree with police keeping records of it. There is still room for abuse of the information.

Getting a DNA and fingerprint sample is not a punishment.
Originally posted by yo its methen would you put yours on record even tho you may have commited no crime.
finger print searches from cime scenes only work if the finger print is on record and if someone has had a brush with the law, there's a higher chance of them then other people having a print that might match.
Anything that helps catch criminals has to been good dosen't it?
Originally posted by stokernot willingly, no. Which is partly why I didn't want to have an identity card- they've been scraped now so just as well I didn't spend money on that idea.
then would you put yours on record even tho you may have commited no crime.
But I'd expect to be asked for them if I had a brush with the law- everyone has a job to do right?

not willingly, no. Which is partly why I didn't want to have an identity card- they've been scraped now so just as well I didn't spend money on that idea.
