  • I wonder what big trial was coming up that involved one of those videos? 🤔

    Someone was reviewing some footage and decided to hide the deletion in amongst lots of other benign videos. They seem to always loose the critical videos showing police brutality don't they!?

    At the end of each shift, officers’ BWV footage was uploaded and stored to a central hub which could be accessed and managed, along with all of SYP’s digital evidence, via a secure system.

    Following an upgrade in May 2023, the secure system began to struggle processing BWV data and a local drive workaround was put in place.

    In August 2023 SYP identified that its BWV file storage was very low and further investigation found that 96,174 pieces of original footage had been deleted from its system.

    The following month it was found the deletion had taken place on 26 July 2023 and included the loss of data relating to 126 criminal cases, only three of the cases were impacted by the loss. Of those three cases, SYP states one may have progressed to the first court hearing if BWV had been available. However, as there was no additional independent evidence to prove the offence, progression to prosecution stage was already uncertain.

    Prior to the deletion, 95,033 pieces of BWV footage had been copied to a new system that SYP was implementing but, due to poor record keeping, SYP remain unable to confirm the exact number of files deleted without copies made.

    i like how the post above this in my feed is about how we should give our ids to the government for age verification

    Ah, I bet they tried to cut/paste instead of copy/paste. Rookie mistake.

    This was probably done intentionally to hide one exceptionally terrible incident. Always make your own recordings of your police interactions so you don't have to hope your bodycam video request is actually fulfilled.

    Did they forget to register their age verification?

    All they need to do is access one of the multiple backups they have. Right?

    They don’t treat it like non-essential data, right?

    Surely judges will rule against the police on every case that involved one of the missing recordings.

    So basically you had a storage full issue and nobody thought to check on that? There isn't a monitor to alert at 80% full?

    And those delete files, who deleted them? You don't have any audit system?

    What the FUCK are you being paid for? Because I know that these systems don't come cheap, they are fucking expensive to buy and maintain and I know that a government will pay through the nose for this to work correctly and you fuck up at step one?

    This should result in millions / billion dollar penalizations.

    How can you set up a system like this without having a plan to maintain it and avoid issues like this. It doesnt make sense.

    I can already speak to my cat. It's not really an enlightening conversation it's basically him demanding food, or he wants to go outside, or he wants better food than the food provided. That's basically the extent of his conversation skills. I mean he's a cat, he's not exactly going to talk about politics with me is it even if we could translate between our "languages"

  • CrowdStrike Announces Layoffs Affecting 500 Employees

    This is where the magic of near meaningless corpo-babble comes in. The layoffs are part of a plan to aspirationally acheive the goal of $10b revenue by EoY 2025. What they are actually doing is a significant restructuring of the company, refocusing by outside hiring some amount of new people to lead or be a part of departments or positions that haven't existed before, or are being refocused to other priorities... ... But this process also involves laying off 500 of the 'least productive' or 'least mission critical' employees. So, technically, they can, and are, arguing that their new organizational paradigm will be so succesful that it actually will result in increased revenue, not just lower expenses. Generally corpos call this something like 'right-sizing' or 'refocusing' or something like that. ... But of course... anyone with any actual experience with working at a place that does this... will tell you roughly this is what happens: Turns out all those 'grunts' you let go of, well they actually do a lot more work in a bunch of weird, esoteric, bandaid solutions to keep everything going, than upper management was aware of... because middle management doesn't acknowledge or often even understand that that work was being done, because they are generally self-aggrandizing narcissist petty tyrants who spend more time in meetings fluffing themselves up than actually doing any useful management. Then, also, you are now bringing on new, outside people who look great on paper, to lead new or modified apartments... but they of course also do not have any institutional knowledge, as they are new. So now, you have a whole bunch of undocumented work that was being done, processes which were being followed... which is no longer being done, which is not documented.... and the new guys, even if they have the best intentions, now have to spend a quarter or two or three figuring out just exactly how much pre-existing middle management has been bullshitting about, figuring out just how much things do not actually function as they ssid it did... So now your efficiency improving restructuring is actually a chaotic mess. ... Now, this 'right sizing' is not always apocalyptically extremely bad, but it is also essentially never totally free from hiccups... and it increases stress, workload, and tensions between basically everyone at the company, to some extent. Here's Forbes explanation of this phenomenon, if you prefer an explanation of right sizing in corpospeak: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/rightsizing/
