flop_leash_973Fujitsu bugs that sent innocent people to prison were known “from the start”
Snot FlickermanThis has been going on for twenty-five years. The system was originally rolled out in 1999. I’ve been hearing stuff about this case off and on for about a decade now.
Why the living fuck isn’t everyone involved with every step of this process behind bars.
The wildest shit is it’s not even Fujitsu to blame! It’s some fucking idiots in charge at Royal Mail who literally fraudulently edited statements from Fujitsu to claim that there were no errors and the system was working.
They used these false statements to prosecute, imprison, and fine hundreds of Postal Employees.
What a waste of time, money, resources, and human fucking life.
I'd be so pissed if I ended up prosecuting a case and found out layrothe cops gave me bunk evidence. Not only is that a huge injustice, it's a waste of time when there are REAL issues to deal with.
But I also am not sure I'd go straight to hanging the prosecutors unless they knew and still charged.
Because while yes, prosecutors should know their cases, at some point folks have to be able to rely on 'experts' (and most prosecutors I've met are... Not great with tech so they are gonna rely on the expertise of others when it comes to this sort of thing).
