    As many here are probably aware the Justice Department recently decided to
exempt the NCIC and the  Central Records System and National Center for the
Analysis of Violent Crime  from Electronic Privacy Act requirements that
they be timely, accurate and complete (http://www.epic.org/actions/ncic/ -
for a somewhat activist view of this). 

For those of you in law enforcement I'd really appreciate your perspective
on this. 

Will it make any difference to the way you use these data sources?
Do you think it will lead to more mistaken arrests and detentions?
Have NCIC and NCAVC records been reasonably accurate so far?
Are the current requirements difficult to fulfill? Has conforming to them
made your job more difficult?

Thanks in advance,
Todd
