Reply #10: There are always unscrupulous people when data is mined and saved...

[rasputin1952]

they are "priveleged"...and that automatically produces a very toxic situation.

Just look at the "Credit Reporting" industry, even when proof positive is given to challenge a "bad" report, it can take months to years, (if ever), when a correction is made.

It is one thing to put a convicted felon's info in a data base, it is something entirely different when something is placed in a "file", that was dismissed or never charged in the first place. Anything "bad" is seen as a reason to make someone's life far more difficult because of a perceived previous incident. Everyone becomes a suspect...everyone loses.
