Sure, and that was one of the parties I listed as being at fault:

> purchasing officer at the police department

However, if the criminal justice system decides that this is an acceptable use of software, then the criminal justice system itself also bears responsibility.

The developer of the software also bears the responsibility for developing, marketing, and selling the software for the police department.

I agree that the PD bears the majority of the culpability here, but I disagree that it bears every ounce of fault that could exist in this scenario.
