UNDERMINED

Do you remember earlier this month it was discovered that in 34 offices of Local government, people had used the CIS database to snoop on local celebrities and their aquaintances?

I think I must have been blinded by yet another instance of a database state failure to mention it at the time (it happened about a week ago). But regardless, it happened and shows the flaws of such a database.

Now it seems that none of the people involved will face prosecution for having breached the Freedom of Information Act and the Data Protection Act. Now, I am not the kind to call for blood, some of these people have lost their jobs as a result and some will have this hanging over them for some time. What I will do is post this on my blog as yet another example of the flaws of the database state (albeit a human one) that would only be exacerbated by the National Identity Scheme.
