In
2004, the county police bought a computer-aided dispatch system. It didn’t work. The cops operating the system blamed….wait
for it…..the system and said that it
failed so often and functioned so poorly that they had to trash it
before its minimum 10-year lifespan was up.
The cops didn’t say if they shot the system to death but the internal
affairs office was expected to issue a preemptive case investigation proving
everything was the system fault.
