Any engineer at ICL who was present when these prosecutions were going on, and *knew* there were problems with data integrity and quality of the system in general should've blown the whistle and shares (some) responsibility for these repeated miscarriages of justice just as senior management at the Post Office do. If folks here don't share this view in their day-to-day work, then they are part of the problem. The act of writing software does not exist in a vacuum and software engineers are not too stupid to be able to consider the wider consequences of what they are doing. In other professions, acting honourably actually matters and there are professional bodies which actually give a damn about the ethics and actions of their members. I'm not sure why it's okay for software engineering to remain in the dark ages.
