This thoroughly disreputable, discredited gang of
thugs and liars needs to be forcibly disbanded, now.

The Privacy Commissioner says that the Sensible Sentencing Trust (SST) has interfered with a man’s privacy by wrongly labelling him as a convicted paedophile on its website.The SST’s ‘Offender Database’ listed the man’s picture with the description of a convicted paedophile with a similar name for almost two years before the man found out and complained to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.A member of the public submitted the man’s photo, and a volunteer uploaded it to the database without taking any steps to verify its accuracy. The SST admitted that it did not know who had submitted the photo or who uploaded it. It also admitted that it does not provide its volunteers with privacy training.“Agencies must take reasonable steps to check that personal information is accurate before they use it. Relying on the assistance of unpaid volunteers does not excuse the SST of its legal obligations,” Mr Edwards said.The Office’s investigation found that the SST had clearly harmed the man with its actions. The man was subjected to social media abuse and was afraid that his tarnished reputation would damage his business.
