480 BREACHES OF NATIONAL POLICE COMPUTER SYSTEM, RCMP REPORT

This related to the gun registry as the CPIC system looks at the registry to tell the viewer if the person has firearms registered to them. In other words the Registry is just a giant shopping list waiting for any organized criminal gang to pluck.

480 BREACHES OF NATIONAL POLICE COMPUTER SYSTEM, RCMP REPORT
“Police computer system is putting Canadian gun owners at risk.”

Since 1995, the RCMP reported that Canadian Police Computer Centre (CPIC) system has been breached a total of 480 times. In a recent response to an Access to Information Act request the RCMP confirmed 66 additional breaches of the police computer system (CPIC) over the last five years. “The privacy rights of all individuals are being violated by trusted police sources, but Canada’s law-abiding gun owners are at particular risk,” said National Firearms Association (NFA) President, Sheldon Clare.
This new information was obtained from the RCMP through an Access to Information Act (ATI) request submitted as a collaborative effort by two independent researchers, Gary A. Mauser, Professor Emeritus, Simon Fraser University and Dennis R. Young, retired Parliamentary Assistant to Garry Breitkreuz, MP. “It is unfortunate that RCMP does not regularly report these breaches of privacy to Parliament,” added Clare. The RCMP’s response to our ATI request is now available on the NFA website:

Without any real evidence showing that law-abiding gun owners have ever been a threat to public safety, the former Liberal Government used closure to force an unfair law through Parliament (1995’s Bill C-68, the Firearms Act) making simple possession of a firearm a Criminal Code offence thereby requiring every gun owner in Canada to obtain a firearms license under threat of serious jail time. Two million gun owners complied and now all their private and personal information including their addresses, the number and types of guns they own are on the RCMP’s leaky computer system. “How many times have criminals used untrustworthy police sources to pinpoint the location and type of gun they want to steal?” asked the NFA President.
“The old Firearms Acquisition Certificate (FAC) program was more effective at screening new firearm owners than the current licensing scheme that costs taxpayers at least eight times more each year to operate. As an added benefit the FAC system didn’t put private and personal information on vulnerable computers to be hacked, or violated by criminals and police personnel we trust to protect us,” concluded Mr. Clare.
