Security software used widely by retail staff is in the spotlight after an incident involving a former Green MP.

Golriz Ghahraman quit politics last year after being caught shoplifting from boutique fashion stores, and news emerged earlier this month suggesting she had done it again at a PakNSave supermarket.

But the former MP did not steal anything, and the store never reported the case to Police – yet as the incident was logged in the Auror security system, Police were able to access it, and attempted to use it in the court case against Ghahraman.

NZ Herald senior writer David Fisher has been looking into the case, and the scope of Auror, and joins us now on The Front Page.
