| Date | 22:28:14, May 12, 2010 CET | From | New Aloria Party (NAP) | To | Debating the DNA Act |
| Message | Just because someone who was acxused and never convicted does not make them innocent, like mob bosses. |
| Date | 06:13:54, May 13, 2010 CET | From | New Aloria Party (NAP) | To | Debating the DNA Act |
| Message | The reason that we support this is that people who are accused sometimes guilty but either it get off because of a technicality, good lawyer, or not enough evidence. Plus also if a crime is committed and the DNA does not come from a convicted person database it might come up in a database of someone accused. It is not imposing taking the DNA of every citizen which is something we oppose, but this takes us in a right direction to fight crime. |
