What will be the error ratio?



When someone's erroneously incarcerated, what compensation will be offered? An apology?

Did they apologize to the Brazilian's family? Too late to apologize to the Brazilian.
No one is ever wrongly incarcerated, you ought to know that....

They did apologise to the Menendezfamily. The family want to sue the police but the only inquirey into that affair is under the Health & Safety at Work Act. No proceedings can be undertaken until that enquirey is dealt with. It may take years. This is widely seen as a device for "kicking it into the long grass".

The officer in charge of that operation, Cressida Dicks was promoted. The officer who emptied his gun into the back of Jean Charles Menendezs' head whilst his colleague held him face dwon on the train was put back on duty on the armed response unit. He recently killed sombody else.

This mobile fingerprint reader is being tested so no data is yet available. Under the official secrets act we have no right to find out the error rate. The government state that if the trials are positive they will ammend the law to make it an offence to refuse to be fingerprinted whether in yor on the street or presumably, in your own home.

The police claim that "up to" 60% of people they stop give wrong information and that this scanner is the solution. Two of my neighbours are in the traffic police, I just asked them if the figure is really that high. They rolled their eyes and laughed. More spurious information....
