Welcome to Globalization....


"The Justice Department is completing rules to allow the collection of
DNA from most people arrested or detained by federal authorities, a vast
expansion of DNA gathering that will include hundreds of thousands of
illegal immigrants, by far the largest group affected.

The new forensic DNA sampling was authorized by Congress in a
little-noticed amendment to a January 2006 renewal of the Violence Against
Women Act, which provides protections and assistance for victims of sexual
crimes. The amendment permits DNA collecting from anyone under criminal
arrest by federal authorities, and also from illegal immigrants detained by
federal agents.

Over the last year, the Justice Department has been conducting an internal
review and consulting with other agencies to prepare regulations to carry
out the law.

The goal, justice officials said, is to make the practice of DNA sampling
as routine as fingerprinting for anyone detained by federal agents,
including illegal immigrants. Until now, federal authorities have taken DNA
samples only from convicted felons.

The law has strong support from crime victims’ organizations and some
women’s groups, who say it will help law enforcement identify sexual
predators and also detect dangerous criminals among illegal immigrants.

“Obviously, the bigger the DNA database, the better,” said Lynn Parrish,
the spokeswoman for the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, based in
Washington. “If this had been implemented years ago, it could have
prevented many crimes. Rapists are generalists. They don’t just rape, they
also murder.”"


It's always the same...find a justification & then drive the rest of
the program through it.....it it weren't this it'd be terrorism or kiddie
fiddling or summat.....

I'd like to comment further but agreements signed with HMG would preclude
that except to say the above is partly why I'm in the Health dept as oddly
DNA & health also go together so.....a nice big DNA db can be used as
part of a "connected government".
