Press Release:
The son of murdered Tokoroa school teacher Lois Dear believes the National parties DNA proposal has a lot of merit and will act as a deterrent for criminals.
Kevin McNeil says it appears National has put a lot of consideration into this policy and he believes it will act as a deterrent and mean ultimately mean those on the data-base will think seriously before committing more crimes, but he adds wistfully, “If ever they do think”.
Heres a good place to start. Obviously they don’t think, the vast majority or murders are caught, 81 percent of murders in the last 10 years have been solved, and if and 80% change of spending 15-20 years in prision isn’t enough to make them think, then I dont know is?
“Mums killer Whetu TeHiko was apprehended quickly due to a prior voluntary DNA sample, if this was not the case mums murderer may still be at large”.
Kevin says DNA samples should not be any problem for those that don’t commit crimes. “For those that do this proposal will endeavor to stop repeat offending, and this I believe has got to be good for 95% of law abiding New Zealanders”.
Was the national policy for those arrested for, or convicted of any imprisonable crime, wasn’t made overly clear was it? bit of a theme really. If law abiding citizens, who have only been accused of a crime will have thier dna put on record then yes they do have something to fear. Why not apply this to the section 59 repeal, put a camera in every family home, if they dont smack, they have nothing to fear. One only needs to look to the UK too see the government abusing the DNA data base.
Kevin is extremely angry at the Civil Liberties and Green Party for opposing Nationals policy saying they always appear to be on the side of the criminals.
Actullay they putting reducing crime before lust from revenge, something the sensible sentancing trust coudl learn from!
“As a victim I find this extremely insulting.”
“Keith Locke the party you are aligned with is only there with a mere 5% party vote, why don’t you make a noise toward the good and safety of all New Zealanders, tax payers are your providers not the criminal fraternity”.
Excuse me? Criminals dont pay tax? sorry but DNA isn’t going to catch white collar criminals, oh wait thats the good type of crime, silly me! oh wait I see now, tax payers is one of those silly conservative catch phrases, surely citizens woudl have been appropriate? but since were on the topic of tax, shouldn’t it be the governments job to get the best value it can for the money spent on crime?
“Good on you John Key and the National party for committing toward a hard line on crime, one can only hope if you are elected the hard line on crime will be implemented. All of New Zealand will back you – apart from the Civil Liberties and Greens of course”.
Well there will be plenty more crime for your beloved hard line approach to tackle fumble, of course that woudl be a good thing for the sensible sentancing trust woudlnt it? you get to punish even more criminals! how about that!
Kevin McNeil son of Lois Dear.

People like these two make me sick. I am not scared of crime, I feel safe on the streets at night in most areas, and dont have a problem avoiding the areas in which I dont feel safe. But people like this, and people like garth mcviccar, they promote policies that promote crime, that makes me sick, purely to satisfy thier own lust for revenge they promote policies that make New Zealand a more dangerous place for every body else, to me that is not acceptable, it has to stop. Please ask who’s siding with the criminals now?
