Information Retrieval "Never Makes A Mistake"

Typing error prompts lock-up

"A typing error by a court clerk led to police grabbing a man off the street and locking him in a cell for several days.
Dylan O'Brien, 17, was picked up by police earlier this week for breaching his bail curfew and kept in custody, until appearing in the Wellington District Court today.
O'Brien's problem lay in a single letter of the law - the mistyping of ''PM'' as ''AM''.
He was prohibited from being out between 7pm and 7am, though his bail form, which he had signed, read his curfew started at 7am."


"I assure you, Mrs. Buttle, the Ministry is very scrupulous about following up and eradicating any error. If you have any complaints which you'd like to make, I'd be more than happy to send you the appropriate forms."
