..."and give us a DNA sample"
newslink
Armed police arrested a man listening to his MP3 player and took a sample of his DNA after a fellow commuter mistook the music player for a gun.
Darren Nixon had been waiting at a bus stop in Stoke-on-Trent on his way home from work when a woman saw him reach into his pocket and take out a black Phillips MP3 player. The woman thought it was a pistol and called 999.
Police tracked 28-year-old Nixon using CCTV, sending three cars to follow him. When he got off the bus, armed officers surrounded him. He was driven to a police station, kept in a cell and had his fingerprints, photograph and DNA taken.
He was freed when Staffordshire police realised it was a false alarm - but will now have his DNA stored on a national database for life with a record that he was arrested on suspicion of a firearms offence.

and what is this CCTV shit? we do not even have that here in america. probably in select places like washington & new york. so they have a network of cameras that can track you wherever you choose to go?
are you ok with that?

In all seriousness, I remeber living in Liverpool before they had CCTV everywhere and then after. It genuinly made the city centre safer. I don't know why anyone would be bothered about being watched by CCTV, unless of course you are doing something wrong.

well let's say one day you're having a stroll with your dog while listening to your mp3 player when someone mistakes it for a gun and calls the police on you and the police track you with CCTV and when you're arrested you get put in a jail cell, fingerprinted, your blood samples taken, and kept on lifetime record

It was the stupid Stokie womans fault not something seen over CCTV. Stoke has the largest collection of stupid people in England. The only redeaming feature of Stoke is Oatcakes.

Make sure you always look good for the cameras. Always be sure to check yourself for any flaws before venturing out in public. Toilet paper on the shoe can be a real drag. Food stains. Etc. Don't look like a fool.
Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic or maybe it's because its Valentines Day but you never know...your future wife could be monitoring you. *sigh*

getting a sample of someone's dna is one of the least invasive processes you can do. that shit's everywhere.

Clarkson has periodically released motoring-based videos, such as "Clarkson - Unleashed on Cars".[18] Over the years, his videos have shown him driving many exotic cars, including a Ford GT40 which had been specially adapted to accommodate taller drivers; Clarkson is 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m). He is also known for destroying his most hated cars in various ways, including catapulting a Nissan Sunny using a trebuchet, and dropping a Porsche 911 onto a caravan (after plunging a piano onto the bonnet and dousing it in hydrochloric acid, amongst other things). For his 1985 album, Solo for the Wounded CD, he damaged audio CDs and used the information that a CD player was able to extract from those discs to create new pieces. Clarkson doesn't make use of a traditional sampler, however though "de-controlling" the playback of the CD audio, his works consist of samples played back in an unexpected (almost random) order. Clarkson has stated that the error-correction functionality of modern CD players has made it hard to continue to use this technique and, for this reason, he continues to use older equipment.[2] For his collaboration with Hecker, Palimpsest, he converted Japanese Man'yōshū poems to sound. Clarkson is one of a few celebrities who have been blamed for poor denim sales. Louise Foster of Draper's Record, trade magazine to the fashion industry, is quoted as saying, "For a period in the late Nineties denim became unfashionable. 501s — Levi's flagship brand — in particular suffered from the so-called 'Jeremy Clarkson effect', the association with men in middle youth."
