Police and technology- Never a good mix
Apparently pressing a wrong key can wipe out several weeks worth of data...

Quote:
Police Scotland has admitted it lost 20,000 stop and search records because "someone pressed the wrong button".
Assistant Chief Constable Wayne Mawson told MSPs on the Scottish Parliament's justice sub committee that a total of 20,086 stop and search records had been lost because a "computer programmer pressed the wrong button between May and July last year".
