Last week the german Polizeipräsidium Südhessen got caught to have duty reports - including personal data like criminal conviction of interrogated people - published in the net. The data is said to have been publicly available for at least 11 months and was found by a german journalist while doing investigations using google.While it was unknown last week how the reports made it into the internet instead of the intranet it was now revealed to be a simple usage error. The public got advised not to further spread the documents since it would be unlawful.

Editor: How can a police officer get away from this with a simple excuse while the rest of the world would do something unlawful with a document that was publicly available for at least 11 months?
