LONDON, England - July 26, 2011 - The DNA of more than one million innocent people will not be wiped from police records, it has been revealed. Instead, the police will retain DNA profiles in anonymous form, leaving open the possibility of connecting them up with people's names.
The admission by MPs appears to break a Coalition commitment to delete all innocent profiles - apart from those accused of violent or sex crimes - from police databases. Civil liberties groups accused the government of a disgraceful breach of its promise to destroy innocent people’s DNA.
