| Message | The collection of DNA from accused persons is no different from the collection of fingerprints from the same group. In either case, it is not a punishment but only an aid in identification. If the accused has not committed any crimes, the DNA sample or the fingerprints will not cause any harm; if he has, it will assist the pursuit of justice. |
| Date | 11:12:45, April 16, 2013 CET | From | Democratic Party | To | Debating the DNA Database Reform Act, 3470 |
| Message | Recording is the point. As you say DNA sample is easy and powerful method for identification, and the government does not have right to collect DNA Sample of the non-convicted. It is severe violation of human rights and privacy. |
| Date | 23:56:24, April 16, 2013 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the DNA Database Reform Act, 3470 |
| Message | Then do you also oppose the collection of fingerprints from those accused of a crime? An if not, what is the difference? |
