What would stop police officers from "jotting down" specifics whilst running legitimate checks trough CPIC, other than the fact they're supposed to be honest?
Let's just say, a dirty officer stops a motorist for a traffic violation. It's his job, and his duty to run you through CPIC. Now he sees you are a firearms owner. Maybe he doesn't give you a hard time or say anything, but, what you don't know is that he "jots down" all your info, address, types of firearms etc, and keeps lists. Would these lists not be of value to some lowlife denegrades that an officer may be in cahouts with? We all know that officers use informants etc to do their dirty work and I'm sure that this info would suppliment an officers salary quite well.
The Toronto Sun who published a map of the highest concentraion of firearms owners should also be ashamed for releasing such info as should the Firearms Centre. This is not public knowledge. If anyone believes for a second that the database is secure, they ought to have their head examined.
Remember that this data base is also manned by civilians with clearance. Wonder how many of them are honest???
And BTW, don't try and tell me that there's no dirty cops...
