Dutch Gov't Has No Idea How To Delete Tapped Calls
McDutchie writes "The law in the Netherlands says that intercepted phone calls between attorneys and their clients must be destroyed. But the Dutch government has been keeping under wraps for years that no one has the foggiest clue how to delete them (Google translation). Now, an email (PDF) from the National Police Services Agency (KLPD) has surfaced, revealing that the working of the technology in question is a NetApp trade secret. The Dutch police are now trying to get their Israeli supplier Verint to tell them how to delete tapped calls and comply with the law. Meanwhile, attorneys in the Netherlands remain afraid to use their phones."
Take media with recorded conversations, place in a pile, load it up with a half-tonne of aluminium filings and iron oxide, and apply a high temperature heat source.
You might want to wear safety goggles.
Finally had enough. Come see us over at https://soylentnews.org/
... and tell them that there's no way they could ever delete anything. Trust me, they'll find a way.

I thought a Dutch Delete only applied to torrents?
No no! The Dutch Police used to share all phone taps via torrents, and now they don't know how to delete those. That's the real reason why The Pirate Bay should be shut down.
"Meanwhile, attorneys in the Netherlands remain afraid to use their phones." Apparently they need some Dutch courage.
If you post as an AC, don't expect me to spend a mod point on you.
What company was that? Goatse?
