Auditors: TBI data inaccurate
State auditors said the TBI’s database is not up to date and this improperly delayed 1,700 from lawfully purchasing firearms:
Auditors said about 2 million arrests have been entered into the database since 1995. But authorities don’t know the outcome in 77 percent of the cases.
This means some people who have been acquitted or had the charges against them dropped or reduced remain in the database.
