i also rememebring hearing some years ago RE: to fingerprinting school kiddies…govt made a new rule, if the TV news wanted to do a piece RE govt. policy they had to allow right of reply on TV by a minister. guess what….no minister was ever available so it was therefore illegal to report on it….
couple of years ago now there was a ruling by the European Court basically saying it was definately illegal for pigyobs to retain fingerprints and DNA of anybody not convicted of anything. as far as i know NONE of these children have been accused of anything, other than being children.
