In any event, I will say that a number of mechanisms are in place for us to deal with breaches of our policies, breaches of our laws, and breaches of our internal ethics and standards. Yes, there are abuses on occasion, and we take them very seriously as police leaders and police managers. We have a number of mechanisms of oversight and a number of complaint routes. We will prosecute criminally; I myself have prosecuted officers for breaches of privacy. Your concern is valid, Madam, but we take that very seriously. However, there is also a legitimate need for us to investigate the law and obtain information according to law and in an appropriate manner.
