“Primary school children should be eligible for the DNA database if they exhibit behaviour indicating they may become criminals in later life, according to Britain’s most senior police forensics expert. Gary Pugh, director of forensic sciences at Scotland Yard and the new DNA spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), said a debate was needed on how far Britain should go in identifying potential offenders, given that some experts believe it is possible to identify future offending traits in children as young as five.”
Full horror story on the Guardian/Observer site.
Recall the original, less threatening child catcher?
Is Gary Pugh a real person??? There is no mention of the cunt on the Association of Chief Police Officers website! But there does seem to be one on the Scotland Yard website. There’s no photo or date of birth, but under that name there’s this bullshit quotation: “The challenge of leading the forensic contribution in one of the most high profile jobs in the forensic business and the direct contribution that forensic services makes to tackling crime in London. I have the pleasure of working with a highly committed, professional and effective group of staff.” The usual bureaucratic wank. What we need to find is his Facebook page with all his paedophile-Hitler credentials laid bare, non? Or have I got this all wrong?
