Re: No login details or authentication of any sort was needed to view and search the live system
Blaming the bosses and sending them to jail isn't going to fix the problem - the data will still be collected and occasionally the PFY will forget to click on "Save" when the system is being reconfigured.
Quit complaining about this - the benefit is that everyone now can see what the government (and also the companies involved) are collecting. What's the chance that the data collection and processing companies are selling information to advertisers - "anonymized" of course but someone at this address recently drove to the local IKEA store ...
But maybe firing the police chief will have the bonus resulting in the replacement hiring a dozen PFYs to check security every day ... and work on selling the data to a few new social media companies.
