"when a court needs to order that someone's information be purged (for whatever reason, e.g. for safety)"
I believe that is the location of your confusion, that is a Hollywood fiction, mostly. If a collections agency is bugging you there is a way to resolve it via the legal system, but its very much case by case and company by company business. A judge can order one company who's officer or agent is present in the courtroom to do something to one record. A judge can purge his own legal system's record of an arrest if he wants to. Belief in this in general is analogous to non-computer people believing in the CSI tv show or hollywood hacking
- mehrdadn 10y agoWhat about the new higher level companies that pop up amin to Instant Checkmate? How do they know which lower-level companies to buy your information from? There's no way they ALL do the heavy lifting themselves. Someone's gotta be making money off doing the real work and others must be buying from them.
