A week after announcing the 'Ju-cha' records system, the public prosecutor's office has published a press release given the continuing interest surrounding the topic.
The public prosecutor's office has vowed to be transparent, but will not show the system in question. Since last week's revelations that there are no secret police records, but that the justice authorities have a records system, the public has remained in the dark concerning the system.
The public prosecutor denied that the tool is used in a 'Big Brother' surveillance fashion and highlighted its administrative benefits. The office reiterated that it will continue to work in the 'most transparent way possible', but must respect data protection, the right of confidentiality, and its moral code of right and wrong. Consequently, it will not publicly show its administrative tool.
The 'Ju-cha' is currently being adapted to new data protection norms under the guidance of the national data protection commission and the judiciary regulatory authority.
