How do you lose 150,000 Police records? It is Priti easy

The government is assessing the impact of a "technical issue" that led to 150,000 records being deleted from police databases.

The error saw data including fingerprint, DNA and arrest histories wiped after being accidentally flagged for deletion.

The Home Office said the lost entries related to people who were arrested and then released without further action.

As someone with a background in IT security I find astonishing. This podcast covers the loss of this data and how it will impact on 'intelligence led' policing
