So there is a theory that if your DNA is enters wrong on the dada base you could spend years in prison for a crime you didn’t commit.
DNA evidence is not 100% and any good barrister will tell you that.
It’s only an “indicator” and on its own would never stand up in court.
I think overall the DNA database is a good idea, but I have to agree with Doa :shock: that there is a worry that your DNA could somehow become mixed up with someone elses on the system. Mistakes do happen, and you could find yourself being convicted for something you didnt do. On this basis, im not sure that it would be fair to convict someone on DNA evidence alone.
