Police visit

If you don't accept their invite for a voluntary chat then they can issue a warrant, the side effect of which is your DNA being taken and stored.

Even as a law abiding citizen, I prefer to stay under the radar.

So the OP is creating a drama over a matter that is basically nothing to do with him. Contributors then waste a great deal of time replying when all the OP needed to do was inform the Police their partner was out of the country.

Utter nonsense. They can't (and don't) arrest people without strong evidence linking them to a crime.

They can:
"If a constable has reasonable grounds for suspecting that an offence has been committed, he may arrest without a warrant anyone whom he has reasonable grounds to suspect of being guilty of it."

s.24, (2), Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1884..

My husband was arrested without evidence on a story made up by an inebriated ex friend. He was then released NFA because there was no evidence. His DNA was taken and I guess is still on the system.

We'll leave aside the fact that police do not issue warrants.

As above, evidence is not necessary. The officer only needs reasonable grounds to suspect an offence has been committed. The complaint from the inebriated ex-friend provides those reasonable grounds.

Not "utter nonsense" as others have said. I have first hand experience with supporting legal advice. Interviewed voluntarily with tape running, duty solicitor present etc. Released without further action when it was clear I was innocent. No DNA taken as I had volunteered.

Incorrect, I was witness to a very serious incident several years ago, wasnt aware at the time how serious it was, was on the news the following morning. Went to give a statement to the police as I seen it close up, was arrested and held for 3 days before being released with a curfew, was lifted after a few weeks but there was never a shred of evidence against me
