No, It Doesn't....

Senior police officers have described the development as "highly significant" and say it lends support to their argument that they should be allowed to keep samples from all arrests, whether offences are proved or not.
He was acquitted of the first offence, therefore technically innocent, and you had no right to his DNA.

That he has committed a seperate offence, for which he has accepted a caution (allowing his DNA to be taken again, as it is regarded as a proven offence), doesn't mean you were therefore right in opting to hang on to his DNA until challenged in court.

This isn't rocket science, is it?

So, if someone is found innocent of one crime, but is convicted for another crime, it means he was really guilty of the first one?

Great justice, police! Keep it up. Funny how Progressives seem to get away with this shit.

You'd think a newspaper or investigative journalist (remember those now extinct beasts?) would be on to this sort of thing, wouldn't you?
