NZ Police spent about $91M on contractors and consultants including IT last year. Their work has enabled cops to build a system with 7M "person identities" with data including that from people's social media. 

Are you in their databases? Sounds like if you use the internet in Aotearoa New Zealand, you'll be there.

The lack of openness & oversight and massive spend annoy me. Others may have extra concerns @1a409386 @808908ba https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/499280/police-spending-millions-to-fix-glaring-technology-system-deficiencies 

 @44a8e2ed thank goodness for Phil Pennington. I hope RNZ is giving him lots of support and kudos for his fine work. I'm certainly grateful for his apparently masterful OIA skills.  @1a409386 @808908ba
