Just about everyone who comes into contact with the Police in any way ends up listed on a database.selsey.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531315051208210724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-17257311859511066732010-08-14T06:42:27.351+01:002010-08-14T06:42:27.351+01:00"It is quite common in the computer trade for...<i>"It is quite common in the computer trade for the programmers and similar people to regard the real world not as a thing of itself but as a source of data for their software system."</i> <br /><br />I've been guilty of that, at times!<br /><br /><i>"Just the other week I phoned my local police to inform them of a con phone call I'd had.

Doing this makes them appear less institutionally racist.<br />At street level this means that the Old Bill investigating a possibly racially aggravated case of 'knock down ginger' have to ask victim Granny Smith what her ethnicity is, even though she is white as ice cream and speaks the Queen's English perfectly.<br />Post the CPI Act disclosure rules, when a case goes to Court, the defence clutching at straws, always want to know whether the witness (Granny Smith) has any criminal convictions. And for that you need an accurate date of birth.<br />Post Dunblane, all calls to houses are recorded in case anyone from the house applies for a firearms licence. Or to keep a record of domestic incidents so that a woman can claim reasonable excuse when she stabs her husband years later....<br />Sunrise Sunset.

Just the other week I phoned my local police to inform them of a con phone call I'd had. I was told, "Last time you phoned it was to do with a stray dog." I had to think hard, then remembered I'd reported a stray dog in my garden a few years ago. As asked the telephonist how she knew that and she openly stated it was on her database. Concerning indeed.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-72631494314999231322010-08-13T12:58:22.358+01:002010-08-13T12:58:22.358+01:00The North Yorkshire proletariat are still a favour...The North Yorkshire proletariat are still a favoured bunch, Julia. <br /><br />Here in West Yorkshire, commoners are subject to police budget counter measures, whereby crime numbers are only released in exchange for personal and bank details with pin number.MTGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-64690581528580459462010-08-13T12:06:26.814+01:002010-08-13T12:06:26.814+01:00It is quite common in the computer trade for the p...It is quite common in the computer trade for the programmers and similar people to regard the real world not as a thing of itself but as a source of data for their software system.<br /><br />This condition appears to have spread to the bureaucracy, which regards the outside world rather as a source of input to their internal procedures than as something that actually exists in its own right.Brian, follower of Deornothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11941277617617928470noreply@blogger.com
