They cover about 9 million people in France, and their failures are numerous. The main file of the national police, Stic, and its equivalent for the gendarmerie, Judex, are singled out by the National Commission on Informatics and Liberties (CNIL). In a report (PDF) issued Friday, June 14, the CNIL list recurring problems in the management of these sometimes sensitive and confidential data. Worse, she noted little improvement since its last inspection performed in 2009, only this time with the Stic. FranceTV info you details the findings of this report.

Updates late or absent

institution concerned first that plugs from the Stic and Judex are rarely updated “ following a judicial decision” favorable “to the person” . But remember Libération.fr, the Homeland Security Act of 2011 (Loppsi 2) expanded the case of eligibility for the update file. The nolle prosequi must therefore be systematically identified.

But

administrative delays and highly variable transmission of flooring information to another complicates the situation. According Liberation , only 5-10% of dismissals are sent to managers or Stic Judex. In 2012, the CNIL has correct information decisive say 40% of sheets provided by individuals.

reason. If the data from these files play a role in the investigation, they are also very popular in the context of administrative investigations related to recruitment, for example. This is the case in the police for monitoring stations at airports, RATP or nuclear. The lack of update can be serious consequences for the people therein. These are sometimes denied a job, a residence permit or French citizenship on the basis of these data. Even several years after the fact.

The solution of the CNIL quickly launch a comprehensive update files police and gendarmerie, especially for minors and criminal offenses. She also insists on better cooperation between the police and the gendarmerie, and a better awareness of prosecutors. Finally, the institution wishes to impose a mandatory audit of the prosecution of individuals in the context of administrative investigations.

confidentiality rules that inadequate

In 2009, the CNIL had pointed to serious shortcomings in the data transmission. Four years and a new overall control later, the situation seems equally disturbing. The report reveals that “STIC data [are] regularly transmitted by telephone without a trace of this exchange is implementing” .

also points “lax safety conditions” , such as lack of secure encrypted data or e-mails. The abuses are common. PC Site Inpact recalls that in January, people have posed as police officers to obtain information by telephone on rappers.

The solution of the CNIL set more specific rules on confidentiality and clearly identify the data that are available. They change into effect according to the survey.

data stored too long

The issue of police FILING recovery finally the debate on the right to digital oblivion, that is to say, on the shelf life of some data. Again, the CNIL considers that additional information is available for far too long. In its Friday edition, Figaro refers to a station agent of 35 years who was denied a transfer to the general supervision because of its registration for “damaging public property” the Stic. Problem: the facts have been reclassified as “slight deterioration”. This should reduce the duration of its inclusion in the file of twenty-five years.

President of the CNIL, Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin wonders in Liberation of the disproportion between the facts and the duration of the registration in the. It thus provides an example of a skilled forgery and concealment offense, it earned its author to be stuck for … Forty years! “An absolutely excessive example,” she said.

The solution of the CNIL : limited time access to data in the context of administrative investigations. As a result, less serious offenses would be visible for five years.
