If you use the logic of 'only people against it are those who have commited crimes' I can quite easily apply it to the following:
Chipping everyone so you know where they are 100% of the time. Having video cameras in everyones house. Of course, nothing will be done unless you break the law, and then you deserve it... but thats really not at all the point. I certainly would not like my privacy infringed in such a way, and yet it uses the same basic argument.
Ps. Im not *completly* disagreeing with the DNA Database PLAN. But I am disagreeing because the government or somebody else could easily misuse such a mass database.

No, still totally disagree with you.
As the resident wooly liberal on here, and the first to bang on about the errosion of civil liberties, a national data base of DNA for everyone in the country can only be for the good.
What are your fears about its possible missuse? You don't really say, just talk about CCTV in everyone's home, which is a little bit of an hysterical reaction if you ask me.
By the way, from lots of things you've posted about your views on differing subjects on here, you won't be a Conservative for much longer. I'm not being patronisinmg by saying that, just that you are way to sensitive and caring.
