Missing the Point, Part III

The headline is supposed to be the head-turner;

"British police arrest people ‘just for the DNA,’"

However, they're missing the real travesty of the situation, by nodding their heads at what follows;

"Britain has built the world's biggest DNA database without proper political debate..."

Excuse me, but WTF!?! Without the proper political debate?

Do the Brits not have it in them to know any better any more?
