I'll take the first shot at it. I referred to the fact that this paper we've distributed has been changed frequently, and there's a reference to a Marper case in there. The United Kingdom's House of Lords unanimously upheld their system of “take it from everybody for just about anything and keep it forever”, and they did it on the grounds that there were a lot of people who were picked up who were found guilty of very serious crimes in due course, and they wouldn't have been found because they weren't charged, etc.
That went to the European Court of Justice last December. There is now in the paper that they struck that down. They felt that taking it from people as young as 10, having the police decide whether you can come out as opposed to a judicial process, and taking it for crimes that you can't even go.... Recordable offences cover a remarkable range of offences. There's a regulation that I have at the office. Besides everything that you can be sentenced for, which would be our summary convictions as well as indictables, it also includes offences like racial chanting at a football game—that's my favourite example of what it covers. So they said that was just beyond all the limits. Even though other countries in Europe do take it from some people on arrest, they don't take it for every offence and they don't take it from young offenders, etc. There's a margin of manoeuvre that they talk about, but the British system had gone too far.
So I think with proper safeguards we could—particularly as we already have, in my opinion, the finest protections for privacy in the world for this information—design something that's appropriate to take it there. It has enormous advantages for the police. They have the person right there; they can do it right then and there.
