NEW YORK (AP) -- Cheesecake in hand, the police commissioner personally apologized Friday for the 50 or so mistaken, door-pounding visits that police have made to the home of a bewildered elderly Brooklyn couple in the past eight years.
It seems a glitch in computer records had led them over and over to Walter and Rose Martin's modest home in the Marine Park neighborhood, about 7 miles southeast of the Brooklyn Bridge.
The most recent intrusion came Tuesday, with officers pounding on both the front and back doors, yelling "Police, open up!"

Probably ~ much like it anyway ~ now, wait until IRS begins enforcing the Obamakkkare insurance program.
These folks had well-trained experienced police officers knocking on their doors. IRS is not going to send out well trained people with years of experience.
By the second day they will be armed of course.

To make sure it will never happen again, Browne said the address has been flagged with alerts, so if there's any record indicating officers should question the Martins, "they're barred from doing it." "It seems like too simple a correction for something that has been going on for eight years," she told the New York Daily News, which first reported the story.
I must be a computer genius, because my first thought before I even clicked onto this thread, was to flag the address.

The problem in a massive bureaucracy is that there’s a different computer databasee for every single city department, separate from each other and from state computers. Maybe they changed it in the NYC police computer, but the NYC sales tax people almost certainly have their own computer, which is different than the state tax people, the state DMV has its own computer separate from the others, etc.
