Announcing the party's new law and order policy, leader John Key says National wants DNA samples taken from everyone arrested for any crime that carries a possible prison sentence.I can see it now. Mum gets arrested for smacking child's hand. Then she has her DNA taken at the police station because if convicted, Mum would face a prison term. But then investigations are made and everyone decides that maybe the smack on the hand wasn't so bad afterall. But, Mum's DNA is now onfile so that whenever there is another smacking incident anywhere in the country, the police can track the culprit down!
BAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
How's that for evil genius. Let's not forget, John Key voted to make smacking illegal in this country. And then said if anyone was prosecuted under the new law, of course National would repeal it. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Strange, how the National Party has been silent on the recent terrorisation of a NZ family because of the new anti-smacking laws.
Here's an idea. How about the National Party come out and say that as part of their new law and order policy, they will repeal the repeal of S59, thus freeing up police resources so that the cops can go after all those that steal, rape and murder in our community??? They might even catch a few criminals that way. And, Theodore Darymple's idea of not letting repeat offenders out of prison until they turn 40, when men tend to mature, might also help quite a lot!
