Illustration for Criminal Investigations (Bodily Samples) Act 1995

If you have a bodily sample taken from you, your DNA profile can be stored on a temporary databank. This can only happen if you have been charged with the offence that led to the sample being taken, or a related offence. You can find out what a related offence is in the Part 3 of Schedule 1. Your DNA profile can be stored on the temporary databank until certain things happen. These things include when your DNA profile must be destroyed under section 60A, or when it can be stored on a DNA profile databank under section 26(ab) or (ac). This means your DNA profile will not be stored on the temporary databank forever. A related offence is an offence that is connected to the one you were charged with. If your bodily sample was taken under section 24J, a related offence is one that is listed in Part 3 of Schedule 1. If your bodily sample was taken under section 24K, a related offence is a relevant offence.
