Judge wants everyone in UK on DNA database
http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,2162745,00.html

The entire UK population and every visitor to Britain should be put on the national DNA database, a top judge said today.

Lord Justice Sedley, one of England's most experienced appeal court judges, described the country's current system as "indefensible".

"We have a situation where if you happen to have been in the hands of the police, then your DNA is on permanent record. If you haven't, it isn't ... that's broadly the picture," Sir Stephen Sedley told the BBC.

"It also means that a great many people who are walking the streets, and whose DNA would show them guilty of crimes, go free."
