Drop that can of sweet pop and grab a coffee - for your sanity's sake

What else is there?

I drink diet coke because:

1. I think it tastes better than full fat coke

2. coffee tastes like savoury shit (or rather what I imagine savoury shit would taste like, not having actually eaten shit...)

3. tea tastes like burnt water

So what other beverage should I be drinking instead if I want my caffeine fix?

Police hit delete on DNA profiles

Oh yes, the "innocent have nothing to be afraid of" ruse....

False positives.

If you are unlucky enough not to have an strong alibi, DNA evidence will say you did it, even though you didn't. And unless otherwise educated by a good defence, a jury will bang you up.

I however have no problem with DNA being taken from the dead, and being used to determine familial identifications. The dead can't complain, and they are dead so no *living* DNA is on record (unless of courese they are convicted crims). Further police work should then be able to identify and apprehend the culprit.

That's how DNA should work...
