The Fairness of Tyranny


Lord Chief Justice Sedley has declared that the British government's policy of taking DNA samples from people hauled in for even minor offences to be "unfair." How to make it fair? Take DNA samples from everyone in the country, native or visitor, regardless of guilt or innocence.

Ah, the logic of the tyrant is breathtaking. If it's unfair to stamp one man in the face with a jackboot, then it makes it fair if everyone is so stamped.

This is another problem that I've had; I've never seen or understood the underlying problems with DNA registration. Could you enlighten me as to the process, and why it isn't right?
