Petition The fingerprint database should only be for serious crimes

More details

To Keep our fingerprints on a database for as little as a verbal warning is against our Human rights and is the sign of a government i think we'd all dread. Whilst for offences such as theft and violence are perfectly understandable, we must draw a line. I argue for the removal of fingerprints obtained for arrests or lesser cautions which did not end in a charge or were in connection with a violent crime or theft of property. I also seek that henceforth fingerprints can only be obtained in cases pertaining to theft or violent in nature.
