Okay, the police need to stop losing important classified information about suspects. First it was the boxful of goods, including a samurai sword, belonging to the newly notorious sister-killer. And now it's a USB memory stick containing all the personal information--including names and addresses--of crime suspects and their victims.
Apparently, the 25-year old police officer lost the memory stick in December, but pretended he hadn't. The only reason the Yamanashi police eventually found out was because somebody found it, opened the files, and called a local newspaper, saying they'd found a drive full of what looked like confidential investigative information.
I bet the guy's in deeeeep shit!
Japanese police seem notoriously bad at keeping things in order. Especially when it comes to computers. There have been hordes of Winny-related file leaks from police stations over the last year or so as well.
The name of a rape case victim was put up on the web somewhere last time.
If you can't be trusted, you won't be allowed one, as my dear mother used to say.
About lollies, admittedly, but the point is valid.
