Am I a renowned police computer hacker?

Gobbledegeek · 23 Feb 2006 at 19:38

Bit of a strange one this. I have just received a copy of my records held by the police as is required for the emigration process to Australia and something struck me as very odd. Firstly, they do hold some details for something quite boring that occurred eons ago, which wouldn't interest anyone except glaziers. Anyway, under the heading 'Intelligence Information' it states...

It is the ie Police computers part that has me worried. What does this say to you? What on Earth will the Australian authorities make of such an unwarranted and potentially damaging statement? Are they implying that they were grateful to me for having helped the local constabulary repair a seemingly impossible pc problem or are they implying that I am a Camembert and wine guzzling hacker/cracker?

What did you do eons ago ?

sounds like he broke a window......or maybe he 'broke windows' which is what they are on about

Seriously mate, I'd be a bit worried about that cos it sounds dodgy if you're reading it as an outsider.

Slighty OT but im going through exactly the same process to get into Oz. Hopefully my police check wont come back like yours though!

There's a French connection ????

To me it comes across as though you're good with computers and you helped fix computers. Going on what else you said.

Have you any reason to have 'hacking' on a record?

Please stop it, you're killing me

No, I have never attempted to hack a computer. I wouldn't know where to start tbh.

To get your records you just pick up a form from your local station and return it with a tenner.

and i presume they have to give you this information?
maybe worth a giggle. this could be a whole new thread coming on. we all get the information and post what we find funny on it.

I think you pay a tenner and you can get a police background check or whatever it is called.

Pez · 23 Feb 2006 at 20:53

CRB Check is the word I think folk are after

Unluckyalf · 23 Feb 2006 at 21:12

Its a Subject Access request form. Like one of these
