Should everyone in the UK be on the DNA database?

When my stepson was arrested for shoplifting, I went to pick him up from the nick. I was asked to wait for him in a small office, where I sat next to an unlocked fridge clearly identified as containing DNA samples.
Now I'm no master criminal, but if I was, I could have cloned half the criminals on Tyneside by emptying the fridge during my long wait for the lad to be released. And now they want me to add my DNA to the database? I'd sooner die on the barricades thanks.
