| Message | Mr. Speaker The Federal Criminal DNA Database that is maintained by the Justice Ministry is only used to record those convicted of serious crimes. How can this be a breach of freedoms to those who didn't respect our laws? Senator William Copland Leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Hutori |

| Message | "Mr. Speaker, Criminals have civil rights too. Once they have payed their debt to society, that doesn't mean we can track them and violate their rights. I do not trust the justice ministry to get every judgement right. What if the DNA records of an innocent man were kept? Or even made public by mistake?" - Stewart Taft Leader of the Liberal Democratic Party |

| Message | Mr. Speaker I would push the opposite question to the gentlemen; what if a criminal goes back to a life of crime the moment he has escaped? We'd also like to state that in the 200 plus years of its existence not a single identity kept by the FedCrimDNA Database has ever been made public or by the Hutorian Federal Police Service who only exclusively are the only ones to use it.

| Message | "Mr. Speaker, In response to the gentleman's question, I must ask: why, then, do we not collect *all* citizens DNA? Of course I know the answer. That would be a violation of due process, and a presumption of guilt. How is this different? We cannot presume someone is to be guilty of a crime just because they have committed one in the past." - Stewart Taft Leader of the Liberal Democratic Party |
