Keep the Presumption of Innocence.


Today's Cambridge News poll asks: "Should police be allowed to hold the DNA of innocent people?"


No.

I don't trust this government to run a whelk stall, why am I being asked to trust it with my DNA? My DNA belongs to me, not the state.

  1. An e-mail from today:

    Here's the final tally at 11pm last night, just before the poll closed:

    Should police be allowed to hold the DNA of innocent people?

    Yes (24.8%)
    No (75.2%)

    Total Votes 1247

    Quite encouraging!

    Cheers,

    Andrew
