The European Human Rights court in Strassbourg has decided that the UK DNA Database, which keeps the DNA data of people in it regardless of whether or not they have committed a crime and won’t let you out once you’re in, is in contravention of the basic right to privacy. Too right! You can’t just tape people’s lives without their consent – it’s one of the things that’s supposed to differentiate us from the totalitarians!
