False Information A-Okay in Primary FBI Database

blamanj writes "The FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC), which compiles a huge database on criminals, arrest warrants, missing persons, etc., no longer has to put up with the pesky problem of ensuring the data is accurate. I guess the Justice Department isn't particularly concerned with justice anymore." The full text of the provision which the main FBI criminal database will no longer have to adhere to is: "Each agency that maintains a system of records shall ... maintain all records which are used by the agency in making any determination about any individual with such accuracy, relevance, timeliness, and completeness as is reasonably necessary to assure fairness to the individual in the determination."

You are aware of the pro-life activist who used a snipers rifle to shoot a man in his home in the name of his cause. You are aware of the many past pro-life activists who have used similar means in the name of the cause.

Justice?

Who are you to talk about justice when there are terrorists on the loose? Hell, YOU could be a terrorist!

I don't see how, when the US doesn't have one.

Or have you forgotten that all you need to do to become President of the US is just get a court to say nobody needs to count the votes...
