She gets arested in connection with an application for a place at a nursery school. They take her DNA - because an allegation has been made that there is an irregularity with a school application. That, in itself, is quite amazing. You often read references to the Stasi when the database state / surveillance society is being discussed. I have never heard of the Stasi arresting people and cataloging them because someone else had reported that they were fiddling a school application. Maybe we should have a new database especially for logging anyone who has tried to get their child into a school other than the ones the authorities think they should have applied to. Let's not just put on those who have been found guilty - let's record allegations as well. All schools should be able to search this database whenever anyone makes an application to admit their child. Details of all the children of the people put onto the database should be recorded - in case the offenders (and suspected offenders) might make future fraudulent applications for their other children. The department which registers births should be linked to this new database so that all new births to school admissions fraudsters (and suspected fraudsters) are added to the offender's profiles. Remember - nothing to hide / nothing to fear. It is ironic, as a previous poster has pointed out, but that does not make it right.
