More truthspeak ~ this time it's DNA

So, the national DNA database is to be 'scaled back', and innocent people will have their profiles removes.

Which, after being put through the truthspeak translator means, you will be judged to be under suspicion for up to 12 years.

12 years. So, if you get arrested for looking at a policeman a bit funny during a demonstration in early middle age, you could be regarded as under suspicion until near retirement.

The solution is simple. It isn't the 'Scottish model', where samples are destroyed after 3 years, it is the presumption of innocence. Charged and released or found not guilty? Destroyed. Go to trial, and found not guilty? Destroyed.

Simple, but to liberty minded for the current shower that make up our political class.
