Is a no vote on AFIS a useful signal, a waste of time, or a dangerous mistake? (Or something else?)

#AFIS (Automated Fingerprint ID System) is on the #Seattle ballot, without organized opposition.[1] In 2018, it moved to "a cloud based system." [2] There's relatively little on what that is or how it's secured. [3] I've never heard of the Federal Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) policy. The #ACLU raises questions about the system [4], and the Stranger urges voting against it, but [3] says "The elimination of AFIS funding would result in the reduction or elimination of technology and staff for arrest identifications and forensic investigations. A city’s options would be to fund its own staff and services, contract with another agency, or rely on WSP’s identification services." and I'm not sure that's going to result in either better security or privacy.

Wel een onduidelijk artikel van de #NOS
Een factuur betalen kost 20 minuten? Wat voor facturen zijn het dan? Is dat een efficiënt betaalsysteem? Wat kostte het eerst? Ze hebben toch 30 dagen tijd om te betalen?
Wat voor betaalsysteem is #AFIS? Is het vergelijkbaar met #Socrates of #SAP4HANA?

Ben erg blij niet voor Amsterdam te werken.
