This week:
Your Life in Their Files
How much do the authorities know about you? And even more important, how accurate are their files, and how can you check? Is an increasing erosion of our traditional attitudes toward privacy the price we must now pay for law, order, or even national security? Over the last few years the police have gained the capacity to file on computer, facts, suspicions, even seeming irrelevancies that concern your life, your career, your future. Do they, as they say, confine their records simply to those matters that are essential to efficient policing? Or are there more doubtful - even sinister - implications?
Jenny Conway and Nick Ross investigate.
