Police refuse to give DNA samples BY DAVID TAYLOR "THOUSANDS of police officers have refused to give DNA samples to a new Home Office database" http://home.iprimus.com.au/dna_info/dna/JA_DNA_UK_Express_20010122a.html "Police DNA powers 'to be extended' Police will be able to take fingerprints and DNA from anyone they arrest, whether they are charged or not, under new UK Government plans." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/2890047.stm and later "The Home Office is considering giving the police the power to take a DNA sample on the street, without taking the suspect to a police station, as well as taking samples from suspects in relatively minor offences such as littering, speeding or not wearing a seat belt. http://mathaba.net/rss/?x=559491 -------------------------------------------- `Perceptions' note In 2002 / 2003 we find that UK Police Federation refusing any proposal to test policemen for drug abuse.

Note: given the nature and psychology of `volunteers for authority', that conclusion is not as surprising as you might have thought.
