Police officers in Queensland, Australia, have been ignoring minor traffic and criminal infractions so they don't have to deal with QPRIME -- their new A$100 million Queensland Police Records Information Management Exchange computer system. A simple report that took an hour on older systems takes "several hours of angst" on the "nightmare" QPRIME system, according to Queensland Police Union vice-president Ian Leavers. A state police spokesman defended the system, saying it assists officers "by allowing them to access information in a holistic manner." (Brisbane Courier-Mail)
