Fresh draft:
The Police — now in internet
(STING) The Gesta… Sta… Moss… Federa… Finnish Police launched today so called Red Button alert system. The goal of the system is to reduce the threshold and and to increase the reporting activity of “suspicious material” in the internet.
In practice the system is a webform which allows anyone, including, but not limited to individuals, companies, and organizations to report material they think might be illegal, criminal, suspicious or that might be preparing to be one of the afore mentioned.
The site is also offering a button in Web1.5 spirit that any webmaster can add to their sites and hyperlink it to the official police webform, naturally the oblivious link clicker subject to ActiveX holes doesn’t have a guarantee this will be the actual police form.
The form, that’s been worked on since 2008, though by the looks since previous millennium, sends an email to the central criminal police who decided to: take action, not to take action, or not to take action and forwards it to the local police who can choose to take action or not to take action or forwards it to central police for further investigation.
“The police has to be where the people are. We need to secure the security in the internet in the same way like in the streets. Police can only take action after an act of crime has happened and needs everyone to report any suspicious activity. Be vigilant!”, the Chief of Police advices on the PSA sent by the Police.
The Chief of Police reminds the public that even though webform that sends an email is a fast and efficient way to communicate with the police, unless the message gets stuck in a spamfilter, it is not suitable for situations where immediate police assistance is needed. In these cases people should evaluate the situation and call the police or the use the Non-Urgent Crime Form found in the police website.
He also quickly adds that neither of these forms are suitable if the reporter is a target of a crime. In those cases the victim needs to physically approach the local police station, but within the office hours, excluding weekends, public holidays, holiday season and general busy time. Non-criminal issues can be reported through another form also found on the police website, excluding urgent situations, but including non-urgent and important reports.
