Surely effective safeguards should have been put in place from day one and be constantly monitored to ensure that this type of abuse doesn't take place.

You just can't trust the people in charge of these systems can you!?!?

This is exactly why I don't like seeing local councils with this sort of power...its not the technology...its the people using it / who have access to it and the lack of control by those supposed to monitor it.

Things will only get worse as the government fudge together more of our personal data into poorly designed / over budget systems / databases etc...perhaps a little seperation between systems is a good thing just to stop these people from having access to too much information which they will ultimately abuse and use in a way that is not intended.

The central government are just as bad!
