    I know nothing about it so I'm going to say - YES!

    Read the title as Garda plus, thought they were rolling out a new line of premium, more expensive gardaí with extra features!

    Able to do a hundred breath tests in a single night...

    Oh wait.

    How could anyone trust it or anything to do with the Guards. You would have to wonder what they have on members of the government given their reluctance to act & sack the commissioner.

    As the noble Ralph Wiggum once said It's fun to obey the machine.

    I see no reason not to trust it or them. A few bad eggs doesn't given us the right to tar the whole force.

    No i wouldnt trust the pulse system OP, who checks the information that's put there, a super?
    Also a word of caution on data access request for AGS, if there isn't anything there you'll be creating a file on yourself!

    A file that says "this person has requested their personal information". so what?

    "So what", to a police force thats rotten,Id rather have no trace with AGS than having a file with my personal details even just name address and D.O.B.
    AGS should've turned themselves inside out at start of the MC CABE scandal but no they just keep giving, all the while asking people not to break the law yet they're a law onto themselves. Can't wait for 2017 crime figure whether they'll be up or down who knows nothing to see here.

    why would i be bothered about the guards knowing my name and address??

    I'm not you so I don't know! Id rather no trace personally at all.
    Who checks the info uploaded to pulse?Who knows what agenda is behind confidential sources to AGS members.

    After Todays News `Profile report on whistle blower Garda Keith Harrison on Garda data systems. Garda Keith Harrison only found this information last week through legal team under a data protection request by the legal team . That a`Profile is normally only created on individual in circumstances where they are a suspect in criminal or gang-related crime or become of interest to gardai, the whistleblowers solicitor said. So do you now trust garda data? our the garda pulse system?

    "What type of information about me can the PULSE system hold?
    The PULSE system contains information about:
    recording crime;
    traffic management;
    progression of criminal cases through the courts, including the outcome;
    firearms licensing;
    driver licences;
    insurance;
    character vetting.
    The PULSE system must follow the rules of the Gardaí’s code of practice on data protection. This means that information can only be put on the system for a clearly stated purpose and there must be controls over who can see the information."

    Also to mention, entry of kids to pulse

    Were the 1,000,000 false breath tests not recorded on pulse, so that's on million pieces of false information on the system. Then there is this.
    Cork mother to sue State over Pulse entries
    Children aged four and five had been put on Garda database and given criminal tags.

    I can only imagine what we don't know. Would Sergeant Maurice McCabe have paedophile allagation against him on the system?

    How often is it accessed wrongly, members stalking exes, passing confidential information to private investigators and insurance companies?

    Not really a trustworthy system in my opinion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,565 ✭✭✭✭steddyeddy


    I trust the decent guards but I don't trust them to side with the public over a bad apple abusing the system.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 646 ✭✭✭koumi

    I've never had any dealings with the law in any way, but that I made a data access request last year just to be sure all was well. (mostly as a result of the actions of my former employer who would have been well connected) I don't trust the people with access to the system.

    Sh1t in, sh1t out. Nothing to do with the system.

    The Gardai stats taken from Pulse regarding firearms stolen between 2010 and 2015 were absolutely staggeringly inaccurate. An absolute joke so no, I don't trust info that's on the Pulse.

    I can't find links because I'm on my phone but the CSO don't trust data from Pulse either.

    Here you go.
    The Central Statistics Office quarterly crime report also detailed significant drops in thefts and burglaries.
    However the figures have been cast into doubt by another CSO report which calls into question the reliability of information supplied by An Garda S?och?na.

    Ironically, I grew up as a teen being pretty respectful for the Guarda? and treating them as the authoritative figure and not being the maybe stereotyped "**** the police" kinda of rebellious teen.

    However through my early 20's and now in my late 20's, became a little wiser to things and witnessed a good few pieces. Now at the point I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.

    I'd never have dealings with police outside of a checkpoint, but just from first hand experiences or second hand experiences of people I'd trust just can't put down the "only a few bad apples" and now I see them all the same. One particular incident a few years ago really made me go "wow" and change my entire outlook. Only took one hyped up thug in a hi vis uniform to basically destroy any trust or support I had for them. Harsh on the rest, but any interaction since just confirms that feeling I have about them.

    I have 100 per cent no fate in the Garda Pulse System data in my opinion this is the next big Scandal. To Break over false data being keep on people and they do not even know this. all of the people in Ireland should apply for there garda data and you might get the shock of your life. I my self have seen two such cases of false data on the garda pulse data.

    It seems that nobody trusts the Pulse system, even the guards themselves.

    I knew it .I was 100 per cent right along. about not to trust the Garda Pulse System .Thank you Poster .

    Now the `floodgates` have opened . The garda pulse system is very unsafe now as I told the good people of Boards . People here on Boards should all now find out what the garda have recorded about them on the garda pulse system You `might get the shock of your life ?.

    I don't think one case means the floodgates opened or that all the records are "very unsafe", it is certainly conceivable that a Garda incorrectly entered data and no harm in anyone finding out what's on the system. I suspect if one checked every medical record it's possible to find errors, even though they have rigorous labelling and recording methods that are really not available to the Gardai unless we as taxpayers invest much more in administration.

    This is just not one case Conor74 this is what the garda whistle blowers have being on about from day one. I my self have seen two case of false data entered into the garda pulse system and this case and there is many more and guess what Conor74 try to get false data removed from the garda pulse that is another story it will cost you up to 30000 euros to go to court to get this false data removed.
