More DNA database

http://www.genewatch.org/sub-537968

This is a link to a website about the laws regarding DNA data basing in the United kingdom. It is basically a timeline showing the major events concerning the use of DNA in crime solving. It shows the progression of laws, and how the police have been receiving more and more power. I think it will be useful in my paper as a reference to the laws of taking DNA samples and how they have changed over the years. It is also interesting because you can notice how the science behind the taking of DNA samples had improved over the years. As scientists discovered new ways to take and use samples, legislation had to come up with more restrictions.
