unlawful retention of innocent peoples DNA and fingerprints

Dear Sir or Madam,

On the 4th of December 2008 the European Court of Human Rights has
delivered at a public hearing its Grand Chamber judgement in the
case of S. and Marper v. the United Kingdom (application
nos.30562/04 and 30566/04).

The Court held unanimously that:

· "there had been a violation of Article 8 (right to respect for
private and family life) of the European Convention on Human
Rights;" with regards to the UK goverment holding DNA and
fingerprints on innocent people.

As the UK goverment has lost its case and was found to be
unlawfully holding DNA and fingerprint details of innocent people i
wish to know the following

As of the 4th of December 2008

1: How many DNA and fingerprint samples of innocent people have
deleted ?

2: How many innocent people requested their DNA and fingerprint
samples be deleted?

3: If no DNA and fingerprint samples have been deleted i wish to
know the reasons WHY as the UK Goverment have been found to be in
breach of innocent peoples human rights and this would be
considered a crime in itself.

4: As there is no right of appeal from a final decision made by the
Grand Chamber when will your police force be routinely be deleting
records of innocent people ?

Yours faithfully,

John Anderson

Dear Freedom of Information

Sorry for the delay in responding to your request, the tern
“innocent” refers to people who have never been convicted of a
criminal offence. This should also include people who were arrested
but never charged.

Yours sincerely,

John Anderson
