of the cases where surveillance had not complied with the law and IPSO itself had investigated were caused by

Overworked, undermanned, undermaintenenced, a load of DILLIGAFF, with a sprinkling of "if you think training is expensive, try ignorance."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V88sUJK ... e=youtu.be -- now if THAT isn't an "oh SH*T!" moment,
I don't know what is....

Caught the movies Lego 2 and Alita:Battle Angel. Lego 2 was enjoyable as usual, I don't think they topped
"Everything Is Awesome" this time with the songs. Alita I went in with minimal expectations but think I
liked this better than Ghost In the Shell, mostly because I could get emotionally invested in the characters
more. As to its faithfulness to the original source material, well...

my confidence they know what they're doing.
