And not just a few minor documents either. No, according to the Dallas Police Department, that employee somehow managed to erase eight terabytes worth of crime data during a data migration back in April, though the damage is just now coming to light.

According to the Dallas County District Attorney’s office, officials there didn’t learn about the data loss until August 6th, when it asked the DPD why several pending court cases were missing files.

I'm sure a lot of that data was police abuse.

Oops, guess we'll just move on, it's not like destroying evidence is a crime or anything... when a cop does it.
