85 per cent of B.C. adults in police database 'disturbing'
VANCOUVER — The B.C. Civil Liberties Association says it is disturbing that up to 85 per cent of B.C. adults have their names in a police computer database designed to track criminals.
The association has written a letter to B.C. Solicitor General Shirley Bond, asking her to investigate why the majority of B.C.'s law-abiding citizens are in the PRIME-BC database.
The computer database is used by police to record contacts with citizens, including "negative police contact," which can then be used to prevent people from getting jobs, BCCLA claims.
PRIME is an acronym for Police Records Information Management Environment. It was introduced in the B.C. Legislature to combat serial killers, sexual offenders and career criminals, but it seems that minor traffic violations are enough to land B.C. residents in the police database indefinitely, BCCLA says.
“What is disturbing is that some information is being recorded as ‘negative contact,’ ” said Holmes.
He said employers can use that information during a criminal record or security check, which is done by police with the potential employee's consent.
"Employers assume that if you have ‘negative contact,’ you have done something wrong, but it’s just as likely that you insisted on your basic rights or that the information is incorrect," Homes said. "This is not some kind of philosophical objection, this misinformation is wrongfully keeping people from economic opportunities."
"If you call in a complaint about a neighbour, it gets carded ... put in the system," she explained.
Triveri said minor reports to police are retained for a minimum of two years but serious offences such as sexual assault are retained for up to 70 years.
