The Department for Equality has once again admitted defects in Cometa Systems’ anti-abuse bracelets. This time it was due to a “router” that generated an incident in 10% of the alerts. This is an unacceptable difference considering that 1 in 10 people’s lives are at risk. … The system was designed to prevent abusers from getting close to their victims, but since September it has been experiencing critical errors that resulted in data being lost while changing winning companies. And equality ensured that victims would never be protected. But now he has added another incident without explaining it to Congress. Meanwhile, the incident in Usera reveals the seriousness of the problem. A man convicted of gender violence was arrested with a broken bracelet in his pocket. No alarm sounded. The system didn’t work. It’s not enough to say you have an “organized network” that protects across devices. Any technology that promises security must be foolproof. We cannot be dependent on technical failures or administrative decisions. Because without alerts, tragedy can occur in seconds.
