You're obviously not aware that the forces of law and order are supposed to have a working knowledge of the law and how to administer it?

So you don't accept any mistakes at any times by the poilce no matter what?

The point about DVD's comment is that it's probable a mistake was made. He didn't suggest the police don't know enough about the law.

Mistakes happen. They shouldn't and we should all strive for perfection in whatever job we do.

If there was a systemic issue in the force concerned so that a lot of people were having DNA taken who should not that's bad. There needs to be review of how it happened. Unless there was an aspect of real negligence that should be a blame free learning exercise.

If somebody in the force concerned was wilfully spreading the net wider than the law permits for their own reasons then there's a discipline issue for somebody.

On the other hand, in any organisation, things get cocked up from time to time.

My employer has just had to re-issue its weekly advice on updates to law and practice because there was a mistake.
