UK police are targeting kids for illegitimate arrest in order to collect their DNA | Privacy SOS: Youths with no criminal record are being targeted for arrest so their DNA can be logged on a database in the event they commit crimes.
A total of 386 under-18s had their DNA taken and stored by police last year in one north London borough - more than one a day.
An experience officer working for the Metropolitan Police admitted the DNA was being stored as part of a 'long-term crime prevention strategy'.
The officer said: 'We are often told that we have just one chance to get that DNA sample and if we miss it then that might mean a rape or a murder goes unsolved in the future.'
He added: 'Have we got targets for young people who have not been arrested yet? The answer is yes.
'But we are not just waiting outside schools to pick them up, we are acting on intelligence.
'If you know you have had your DNA taken and it is on a database then you will think twice about committing burglary for a living. Already this year some 169 under-18s have had their profiles uploaded.'
