Pointing to this Detroit Free PRess article, Pat writes: "The lead paragraph says it all:' Police throughout Michigan, entrusted with the personal and confidential information in a state law enforcement database, have used it to stalk women, threaten motorists and settle scores.' Gotta love these databases." Considering a lot of people have access to ever-consolidating databases about your personal life, this is the sort of thing I plan to point to the next time I hear accusations of paranoia.
