A police officer had accessed data in police databases for private research purposes in order to obtain information about his ex-wife's new address. He discovered where his ex-wife had moved to in the meantime. The officer then actually went to his ex-girlfriend's new apartment and met her in front of the entrance to the new house. This frightened his ex-wife so much that she reported the incident to the police.
