Politics: Call Me Crazy, But Shouldn't the FBI Try To Be "accurate, relevant, timely and complete?"

This is a civil rights disaster. According to new changes in the US Privacy Act (1974), information added to the FBI's National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database no longer needs to be "accurate, relevant, timely and complete."

Presumably, if information is added to the NCIC database without being verified, a simple case of mistaken identity could lead to a nightmare scenario where a person's rights are (a la Jose Padilla) permanently lifted.
