...but surely. Everybody is presumed guilty until found to be innocent.

If they asked me for DNA I would spit on the ground and say "there ya go". The real criminal would never give up his DNA thus making this whole thing worthless.

Christa Worthington, 46, who had lived in New York and Paris and London before retreating to the quiet sea-stung town, was found stabbed to death in her bungalow here on Jan. 6, 2002, her 2-year-old daughter, Ava, clinging to her body.

Semen was found on the body...


If it would help catch the sick freak who did that, I would gladly donate.

In times past, babies had their footprints inked to their birth certificates. No one ever made a fuss about that.I see nothing wrong with taking DNA samples from newborns, and place them in a national database.

I would bet that there would be far less innocent people convicted if that information were available, and vice-versa.

Phoenix you are so right. Records of stuff has been kept for centuries. the problem is finding the information when you need it. Even a mainframe computer has problems with huge data.

Pretty neat, cjh, but it seems to have an uncontrollable roll/lock.

As long as it it voluntary, I really don't have problem with it. You can say no. You can be interviewed instead. Provide an account of where you were... Unless you were with the police commissioners wife.

Okay, now I'm seeing a problem with this.

BTW, how dumb was the guy that was guilty that gave DNA???

Yeah, my way of saying it shutters like crazy, and can't change the position or anything else with it! The only way to correct it is to leave the site and click on your link again. Wink

I'm all for catching the killer but what disturbs me is when they say "they will closely watch those who refuse." They're basically saying you're a suspect without any evidence or even probable cause and that's not a good thing folks.

I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. Click on the link, then type in your address and city/state, and it will display one or more viewing options. Click on the newest one you can find, and you'll see your house.

Someone recently said, "You have no privacy. You haven't for years. Get over it."

I can't remember who said it, but it was a fairly prominent political figure I think.

Here's an example: http://www.adcritic.com/interactive/view.php?id=5927
