Oh didn't this happen in the UK with their post-office software. The software essentially made an error that made it look like postworkers had stolen hundreds of thousands of pounds. The software creator, police and government all knew the software was at fault but the computer said you stole money "Sooooo postworkers go prison!"
Dead ass a couple people killed themselves over real life Idiocracy.
Edit: At least 13! Thirteen people died because the UK government couldn't admit they fucked up.
Yeah, I remember that story. It was really messed up.
