    #1 - This police logger violates the privacy of suspects

    S1:E1

    Police logger Jan-Willem goes into the mistake ... again. Despite the instructions for the use of social media by police, there are still people traceable in videos of the Vlogger. And with that he lays private data from citizens on the street. Pointer investigated the traceability of people in videos of police logger Jan-Willem and it shows that the popular agent rebreeds several privacy rules. That is remarkable, because following earlier research, the police proposed guidelines for improving social media posters. Now it appears that after the tightening of the rules in certain 22 cases that are traceable to a person are visible and audible in videos of Jan-Willem. Social media is indispensable in the police. You see it at all arguing: a detection message via a Twitter or Facebook message.

    #3 - Care cowboys Part II. The directors of these care companies are rich in care money

    S1:E3

    In June 2019, DataLatform Pointer revealed in collaboration with research site Follow the Money and Reporter Radio that there are care institutions that get extreme profits. After an analysis of the annual figures for 2017, it turned out that 97 large healthcare companies were jointly made for more than fifty million euros in profit. That amounts to more than twenty percent of turnover, while at most three percent are common within mental health care, care for the disabled and home care. These profits may have been unlawfully achieved. The annual accounts of these institutions are rarely checked, allowing shareholders to pay for millions of Euros to care money. These 'care cowboys' would perhaps even ride out huge profits at the expense of supplying care to people who need. In the second broadcast on mega ministers in healthcare, the DataTeam of Pointer once again examines the annual accounts of these types of companies.

    #5 - Care cowboys Part III. Municipalities hardly have any view of spending care money

    S1:E5

    Almost a hundred care companies make structurally high profit in the healthcare sector. The DataTeam of Pointer, together with Reporter Radio and Follow the Money, examines why municipalities pay for tens of millions of euros in care money to these companies within the framework of the Social Support Act. Why do municipalities do not seize as soon as it becomes clear that this money is not spent on good care? Municipalities must ensure that the money intended for elderly and disabled care is used properly. Why do municipalities do business with companies that use the money for other things? And is it maintained?
