Letter to The Pinkerton Corp (Score 1)

To The Pinkerton Corp, I cannot understand how gathering this type of information will prevent school-yard violence. Does your product GUARANTEE that any school where it is installed will be violence free? It would be pretty sad if children's rights to privacy were given away, but you propose to PAY people to sell children's private information. This is simply immoral. If you wish to release your product at least remove the financial incentive. Children will use this product with an enthusiasm like Pokemon card collecting. They will lie and cheat to get the free stuff, making your entire database absolutely useless for its intended purpose. Lastly, I live in Australia. Children here do not bring handguns, uzis, or assault rifles to school. The real solution is to pass laws to prevent children from getting access to guns and ENFORCING it. Nicholas Boyle
