But the laws of the country you live in give them the power to arrest you on suspicion of a crime - it is only wrongful arrest if they think they're arresting someone else and get you, or if they KNOW for a fact that the case against you is not sufficient to investigate further.
The more you struggle the more laws they can pull into play and keep you for real - if you go quietly, and have a good lawyers number committed to memory, you'll be out sooner and proven innocent I'd have thought.
As for myself, I believe that having seen the evidence of strong convictions found following DNA investigation of old cases on new arrests in the UK, I'm in favour of a DNA and fingerprint database for everyone.
One issue is that there is not enough evidence of exactly how reliable DNA profiles are - and therefore a DNA database would allow this statistical basis to be calculated rather than estimated. This in the long run could help PREVENT unsafe convictions.
