Dyejet - Dyejet the offender

Dyejet is a small atomiser type canister, each containing a unique DNA registered to the holder. When sprayed upon a person it marks the attacker with a blue dye and the unique DNA that can be traced back to the owner. It has no toxic chemicals.

When sprayed upon an individual it will leave a blue stain on clothing and skin. Dyejetthe offender's Managing Director, Peter Pitt chose the colour blue because in the dim and distant past, criminals would be sprayed with woad - a blue dye marking them as criminals. It is suggested by Peter Pitt that the saying we know as 'Woe Betide You' - is incorrect, it was actually "Woad Be Dyed You" ...(allegedly!).

I wonder if by association, a criminal defence lawyer would suggest that no person is guilty until proved in a Court of Law and this blue dye might label an innocent person as a criminal.

If a person sprays an inividual who is innocent, could charges me brought upon the sprayer for assault or some sort of damage?

Dyejettheoffender website claims "it is quite legal to own or use a dyejettheoffender. It is not an offensive weapon. Dyejet the offender, is a defence apparatus adapted to be carried on the person for use in the event of personal attack at the owner's discretion"

If we look at the purpose of Dyejet; a peson about to be attacked sprays Dyejet on the attacker. There are two elements here, a unique synthetic DNA and a blue dye. The DNA is registered to the owner, the idea being that forensic tests will connect the attacker with the victim. There is certainly plenty of areas where a defence solicitor might argue that the spray could have been activated in spite as opposed to defence.
