Blair has put in motion the building of the DNA database up by stealth and it matters not now if you are caught speeding or murder someone, your DNA is forcedly taken and kept forever unless you can convince a senior police officer to take it off the database, whilst it may be seen as fighting crime and catching criminals it turns the British population into a nation of suspects at large and looking at recent cases in Scotland, it is not hard to understand why people are so wary when we see that Police are capable of not only planting DNA evidence but also fingerprint evidence as well.
This gives the state the ability to criminalise whoever they wish, at any time, by placing an easily captured DNA sample at the scene of a crime, easily captured in that someone in the Tube could pull a hair off your head and place that next to a murdered body and what defence would you have...?
Not many people understand either that the state wishes to photograph every single one of us and this is what has led to the recent clashes over Muslim women wearing veils, why it is going to against the law in the UK to wear a mask or anything that stops the cameras from taking your photo.
How hard is it for any of us that can use Photoshop or Fireworks to alter a picture to put someone else's face there...? Facial Biometrics are not unique in any sense nor as unique as example the fingerprint or retinal scan but for any technology to be worth its investment, surely we must be assured 100% that no abuses can occur, that the system is 100% failsafe?
It again comes down to trust, pure and simple and to the point, we cannot trust the politicians or the government with our governance, it is as simple and blunt as that.
Why should we trust the police in these matters either? When the poor Brazilian electrician Charles Menendez was brutally executed by police officers in south London, not only did the police lie profusely to cover themselves at the first showing but also proceeded to smear the departed man and accuse him in retrospect of heinous crimes which turned out to be unfounded.
Another such incident in the shooting of the Forest Gate man, the police again smeared him in an attempt to destroy any public sympathy for him by labelling him a child pornographer, an innocent man already under duress in his own country for being brown and Muslim is also shot and then labelled a child molester in short order.
If we had institutions that we could trust to get it right, that at least made an effort to get it right and to protect our interests over their own, then maybe a case for trusting the government and the police in such instances could be made but when such situations exist where we cannot even begin to trust the very words uttered from these people, we cannot trust them to protect us and in that case, it must be defined that this government and the civil service that supports it, the police that are supposed to protect us are NOT fit for service I any way, shape or form.
It is not a case of "modernity" that Blair claims, it is a case of watching a corrupt and blatantly oppressive government abuse our status as citizens and remove our rights and freedoms to suit their own need whilst elevating their own status and exempting themselves from the very laws that they apply to us.
History teaches and history has taught us that any government that needs to spy on its people is up to no good; Blair is no exception to that rule.
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security" Declaration of Independance...
