i think a call to citizens advice might be in order mate. from what i have searched. they cant take a minors dna without a court order. but another goes on to say that the police can use reasonable force to obtain a sample. personally i would tell them to get bent and worry about it later.

What has happened ?

Have the Stasi* taken a childs DNA without permission

* Nearest suitable name for the people carrying this out!

I do not blame the Police at all, I blame the stupid government.
Kris9128 offered some sage advice which I have followed and thought it would be wise to remove the original post.

The basic jist of it is the authorities are going to take the DNA of a 15 year old for a minor offence, of which an adult would of just have been told to go home.

The basic uspshot is that they can use reasonable force to extract a DNA sample from someone, so much for human rights.
Yes if he was a murderer, rapist etc. I would fully agree, but this is just a cynical attempt by the government to get every male person on the DNA register.

Annoyed and angry.

P.S. I no the last bit sounds sexcist, but the young girl who did exactly the same last week, and then went on to vandalise a door was just sent home by the police.   My son did not hurt anyone or any property,(he only made himself very ill) and he is arrested. Double standards I think.

Take it to the press - tell him to refuse under any circumstance to give DNA sample as once it is on it is on for life.

The corrupt ********* want to DNA database everyone in the UK except for Nulab government members.

Contact your MP especially if not nulab

KICK UP AS MUCH FUSS AS POSSIBLE

My son had his dna taken when he was 15 (9 years ago) I asked plod if they were certain that they were within their rights to do this and they said "absolutely,there is an easy way or a hard way,but we will take it regardless". I think its f*cking outrageous.

And in England, as said above, they keep the DNA even if subsequently found innocent.
