POV[edit]

I removed the POV tag as there is no discussion on what the violation is or how it could or should be fixed.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.16.128.126 (talk • contribs)

This is clearly a non-NPOV article as I read it. An NPOV article would describe the technology along with a neutral discussion of its possible or proven applications and an explanation of the controversial public policy issues. Presumably, that would include the "crime-fighting" benefits along with concerns about privacy loss. The name "policeware" indicates an agenda all by itself -- unless it is a common term in the industry? (If it is, say so.) --Albany45 21:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the title itself sounds like an "anti" POV, as does the definition given. I propose merger with Computer surveillance. In the meantime, I tweaked the CBDTPA section to reduce "anti" POV there, and to avoid making claims that all of these "evil policeware" developments are related.

Neologism?[edit]

Could we have a source please showing that this isn't a Wikipedia:Neologism? Thanks. --75.35.79.113 23:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is this article just a load of crap? I don't see any sources anywhere. --74.134.146.52 09:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Carnivore does exist. Not sure if the term 'policeware' does, though it may well after this article's having been linked to on /. –Xoid 15:14, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
