DNA RECORDS GIVEN TO PRIVATE COMPANIES

I think I have suggested this would happen, because the greater aim of the DNA database is to analyze our DNA for characteristics. In order to do that a very large population is required, and what better way is there to create that very large population than to take a sample of DNA from anyone who is suspected of committing the most trivial of crimes, all in the name of 'fighting crime' (while the biggest criminals in The City of London ride around in the limousines with whores).

From http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/2459976/Millions-of-profiles-from-DNA-database-passed-to-private-firms.html

Millions of profiles from DNA database passed to private firms
Millions of profiles on the national DNA database have been handed over secretly to private companies without the consent of those involved, The Daily Telegraph can disclose.

Papers obtained under the Freedom of Information Act show that on five occasions since 2004 private firms with police contracts have successfully applied to use the database to help them develop computer programs.

The DNA database contains records of 4.2 million people, of which a million have never been convicted of an offence. Records are rarely deleted, even if a person is not charged.

The disclosure comes ahead of a hard-hitting report from the Government’s genetics watchdog next week which will call for more safeguards on how the database is run.

Ministers say the database is a crucial tool in solving crimes. But when it was set up, there was no suggestion that profiles would be made available to private businesses for commercial purposes.
