Kuwait has become the first country to make DNA testing mandatory for residents

• citizensixteen 11y ago
  >In a controversial move, Kuwait has passed a law making it mandatory for all its 1.3 million citizens and 2.9 million foreign residents to have their DNA entered onto a national database. Anyone who refuses to submit their DNA for testing risks one year in prison and a fine of up to US$33,000, and those who provide a fake sample can be jailed for seven years. What could go wrong?

  This will be useful in the future to identify people's ethnic origins.

  >This allows police to compare DNA found at a crime scene with any DNA they have on file to look for a match. Or plant one there.

    So? Same is true for any kind of evidence.

      Well... No would doubt (is supposed to) DNA evidence. So if the evidence was planted, it'll be very difficult to prove otherwise.
