DNA Spraying at games

[urban genie]

OK I'm abit thick.
Is this going to be sprayed when trouble starts ?
How is it only going to end up of the ones causing trouble in a crowd ?
Why only football fans ?

From Cheshire polices website

Cheshire Constabulary is set to become the first police force in the UK to equip officers with DNA Tagging Spray at all League two matches.
Following an initial trial at the Crewe Alexandra versus Port Vale match in March, the force has now decided to rollout the tool to all League Two games.
DNA Tagging Spray, supplied by SelectaDNA, is a spray which can be used by officers to deter and prevent criminal behaviour, such as football disorder.
This spray marks equipment, clothing or skin with a uniquely-coded but invisible DNA solution that will provide forensic evidence to link individuals to a specific crime or event. The spray shows up under UV light and clings to skin and clothing for months.
It is hoped that the tool will act as a deterrent to those participating in any anti-social behaviour or disorder before, during and after the game, as well as letting those involved know that they will be sprayed with a solution that will link them back to the scene of the crime.
The rollout will begin this weekend at the Crewe Alexandra versus Accrington Stanley game on Saturday 9 August at the Mornflake Stadium.
The scheme forms part of Operation Shield, a forcewide initiative which will see SelectaDNA Intruder Spray kits installed at a number of business premises and shops across the county with the aim of deterring burglars and thieves.
In addition, as part of the initiative, DNA Tagging Spray will also be used by officers targeting offenders using electric scooters, eBikes and off-road bikes.



So aimed as a deterent, but football is the only sport it will be used at, so essentially football fans are seen as no different from muggers, burglars, scrotes on escooters

So basically the spray can land on innocent bystanders. Innocent bystanders can than touch the railings on the stairs and be marked by it ?
