The way DNA records are stored on the UK's
national database could change today after a judgement due in
the European Court of Human Rights.
Two men from Sheffield, who were not convicted of crimes for
which they were arrested, want their DNA profiles removed.
If the court agrees holding their DNA is being held unlawfully,
because of the individual's right to a private life, the
controversial database may have to be scaled back.
Currently, everyone arrested in England, Wales and Northern
Ireland is held on the database.
