Open petition: Implement a mandatory DNA register for everyone born in or arriving in the UK.

Created by John Manley
Closes on

The implementation of a mandatory DNA database could help solve crimes more quickly and aid in the resolution of unclosed cases.
It could also be an aid in removing potential suspects from police workloads if they aren't a DNA match.
