This country is the creepiest in the West. It's the right word to describe what these cowards are doing here, and as our economy continues to collapse, the media has finally decided, "we can't keep a lid on this East German system anymore, other countries are avoiding us, we have record losses at the U.N for two decades and they are kidnapping our citizens".
It's time for major reforms to our creepy East German system. Just maybe I will finally have some honourable media to report the facts. Can anyone imagine what kind of abuses can occur when police have your DNA and possessions of yours with it? You want to be an enemy of the state when they have your DNA? Some of it, kept for 20 years.
Creepy indeed.

An Ontario court has given the green light to a class-action lawsuit by a migrant farm worker, who was among 100 people subject to a DNA sweep by police for the investigation of a violent sexual assault.
The $50-million litigation against the province, initiated by Micky Granger, will cover anyone who has ever volunteered to provide their DNA sample to assist in a criminal investigation since June 30, 2000 but were not convicted for any offences.
The class action, however, does not include those who have provided their DNA under a warrant or whose DNA is collected by authorities through discarded items, such as cigarette butts.
The lawsuit was certified by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice this month. It alleges that consented DNA samples have been stored and retained unlawfully by Ontario Provincial Police and other police services, as well as the Ontario Centre of Forensic Sciences, despite a provision in the Criminal Code that says records and results of consented samples must be disposed of if no match results in a criminal investigation.
