Just when Britain could rejoice in the fact that new methods of detection have accelerated the arrest of criminals who would otherwise remain free, DNA files are being destroyed after a period of six months in order to respect an EU Human Rights ruling !!! This protects the rights of criminals.
Have the Human Rights of potential victims been considered ?
Britain at present does not have enough prisons or enough money to build more specialized modern buildings to house criminals. This simple fact fetters the hands of judges when they want to incarcerate criminals to protect the public ! As a result, a possible prison sentence in Britain no longer acts as a deterrant.
The next thing one can expect are appeals when DNA evidence has been used to prove the guilt of offenders.
Electors will be watching very closely the decisions of other countries. In Britain abandoning the DNA files will almost certainly be a vote loser at the next General Election !!!
