摘要
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) declared in its judgement for the case of S. and Marper v. the United Kingdom of 4 December 2008 that the systematic and indiscriminate retention by public authorities of fingerprints, cellular samples and DNA profiles of individuals who have not been convicted constitutes a violation of Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), as it is an interference which fails to pass the criterion of being necessary in a democratic society. The judgement helps elucidating the rules that should govern the use of biometric data for the prevention of crime, and represents a crucial step for the clarification of the relations between the fight to privacy guaranteed by Article 8 ECHR and the general principles of the protection of personal data.
