Re: Let me get this right

And....

They imply it is foolproof. When someone says that, for something like this, I think they are basically saying they can trick us proles (with impunity) that all us well until this Turnkey product can be fully activated when no-one is watching.

Checks and balances exist (sorry give me a moment..... need to reign back nervous laughter) for all Police activity.

How many Police were disciplined last year for abusing PNC? Moreover, how many got away with it? A recent article (IIRC) put it at over 50 in 2018! One plod (a relative) once told me that it isn't hard and only the naive get caught (still not sure how to take that comment).

Planting "irrefutable" evidence is becoming easier by the day! How can we defend against it?

I suppose it all comes down to trust in the Police. I think I still have a vague recollection of that term - it fades daily though.
