False Information A-Okay in Primary FBI Database

Posted by michael on from the hanging-judge dept.

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."

    Sorry, but imo, just deserts. It's just as brutal removing me from the decision process->legally.

    I'm curious how the law would interpret dropping the morning after pill in someone's coffee to avoid paying child support.

    With the amount of deaths (people born) associated with abortion laws and the inequity it produces, I could fill the sky dome 2x over. The consequences is something your going to have to live with, people are people after all, that can't be changed. Unless you've read that alph book and believe it, but study groups suggest thing would be much worse. When you resort to threats and intimidation you really should evaluate your value system. Something is definitly wrong with your psychology.

    Wrong information is everywhere. Here an interesting article about Michael Moore and his academy awards movie.

    I haven't see the movie yet, I can't really be objective on this. But I think there is a good thing to remember: "never trust anybody only because everybody do"
