The Breet Report

Flag Men by Kenneth Fiske at publicdomainpictures.net

Jumping across the pond for a moment, let us travel to the United Kingdom.

Over the recent years, the United Kingdom has developed a rather large database of DNA.  The general idea was to have the DNA of individuals on file that committed a crime.  The news emerging shows that the lack of specifics for obtaining DNA, has reached far beyond the scoop of the original design.  The results of the commission are in and the news is damaging.

The commission has found that police have committed “sweeps”(1) on individuals to harvest DNA, by using “flimsy”(1) evidence to hold a person for criminal activities.  The harvesting of DNA was designed to only take samples “for a recordable offence.” Instead, the database contains 5.6 million (1) people to “make future crime fighting”(1) easier. The concept of this was not bad; however, as an outsider looking in, individuals have much to fear from those that are there to protect and serve.

“A retired senior police officer, a superintendent, told the commission: “It is now the norm to arrest offenders for everything if there is a power to do so. It is apparently understood by serving police officers that one of the reasons, if not the reason, for the change in practice is so the DNA of the offender can be obtained” (1)

The scandals that are breaking out worldwide are not limited to just weather and climate deceit, but the violation of individual sovereign rights.  Commissions, investigations, or other means, are to protect the innocent, not to condemn or tax them to death.  At this point in time, the multiple issues occurring should leave everyone scratching their noggn’.

What exactly is happening within the governing structures that appear to work together for our common good?  Why would the laws not be specifically laid out for obtaining DNA, knowing issues could come from it?

While the project seems to have the best of intention for protecting the innocent, it has taken a turn for a horror sci-fi flick.
