UK Police Call for DNA Database
Police in Britain have called for debate on the possibility of collecting genetic codes from every U.K. resident. Kevin Morris, chairman of the Police Superintendents' Association, proposed the idea in a speech at the group's annual conference on Tuesday, arguing that it would help tackle unsolved crimes. Britian's foremost civil liberties group, Liberty, has already come out in opposition to the proposal. Barry Hugill, Liberty's spokesperson, said, "We find the idea of a DNA database covering a (British) population of 60 million a frightening scenario."
