So the Labour party apparently are trying to pass a national database this will hold the finger prints and personal details of EVERY British Citizen criminal or not.
What do you think to this?
For me it's not a huge issue I think it's fine again as I have said in other posts if it prevents us coming to any harm or can solve violent or sexual crimes in the future then it's a bonus and only those with something to hide would worry.
However I don't agree with Young People's details being kept on file.
For example unlike the USA if you are ever arrested from the age 10 upwards in the UK it's held on record for life with no way to clear it as far as I am aware and comes up on CRB checks though this is a slightly different issue to a national database I think it is a good cause to raise concern as I really don't think it would be the best of ideas to store a child's/young persons information on any type of database until they are 18.
After all the UK doesn't have the best of reputations for keeping personal/private and confidential files safe such files have been lost many of times so goodness knows who's wrong hands they could be in now.
Due to the concern of Young People and Children Labours idea of a National Database gives me many reasons to be very concerned.
