-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Via Stuff.co.nz. [snip] A 111 call-centre worker, sacked after being accused of stealing information from the police computer, says he will fight the dismissal because the practice is rife. Les Neilson who admits he used the police computer to check on potential girlfriends says many police regularly look up acquaintances and friends on the database. He claims he has been made a scapegoat. "I've basically been screwed for doing something that's a common practice. I've used the information the same as everyone else has," he said. "If I'm socialising with people and I'm meeting new partners then I need to know the background of those partners because I don't want to put myself or the department in a compromising position. "There's nothing that says 'I can't do that' I've been doing it for the last 20 years."
