Part 4: Police Powers Chapter 2: Retention of biometric material Section 71: Retention of fingerprints and DNA profiles: Terrorism Act 2000
This section makes similar provision in respect of persons arrested under section 41 of, or detained under Schedule 7 to, TACT. It amends Schedule 8 to TACT to enable DNA profiles and fingerprints to be retained indefinitely where a person has convictions outside the United Kingdom, where the act constituting the offence would constitute a recordable offence under the law of England and Wales or Northern Ireland, or an imprisonable offence under the law of Scotland.
