The police have resorted to thuggery tactics, when it was announced on tv news, that they have asked 4000 men in London to volunteer their DNA samples sothat they can "exclude" them from their investigations on the death of a young woman recently.
They then went on to say that anyone who refused, would be arrested and then they could forcibly take the samples, legally by law.
What is this country coming to when we are threatened pubically with arrested even though its supposed to be voluntary.

Is this a sign of things to come ?

Det Ch Insp Stuart Cundy, who is leading the murder investigation, said the DNA profiles would not be put onto the national database and would only be used to eliminate men from the inquiry.

Quote:

"It is an entirely voluntary process. None of those DNA samples or fingerprints will be used to check out other unsolved crimes.

"Obviously if someone does refuse then each case will be reviewed on its own merits.
