Superintendent Coll says that people with nothing to hide should have no objections to the police holding samples of DNA taken from members of the public (Argus, February 1).

On the contrary, we all have something to fear, as this argument is a fallacy.

The police are taking too much power into their own hands and are become ever more unaccountable.

Our civil and personal liberties are being fast eroded and the police, increasingly, think they know what is good for us. They don't.
