A man accused of trying to seduce a minor via the Internet was acquitted by the judge. At issue was the fact that he was chatting with a police officer posing as a minor. This case may call into question the techniques used in such programs as Operation Blue Ridge Thunder.

Two accused methamphetamine traffickers apparently rigged up their car so that if cops closed in, a small rocket carrying their stash would pop up from the trunk and launch itself far from the long arm of the law.
Now let’s pause for a second and see if we can come up with a few reasons why this might not have been a good idea.

Shops are an easy target for identity thieves. Unlike banks, merchants often lack the knowledge or resources to secure customers’ data.
The Identity Theft Resource Center is a nonprofit, nationally respected program dedicated exclusively to identity theft It provides consumer and victim support and advises governmental agencies, legislators and companies about this evolving and growing crime.
Identity theft is a crime in which an imposter obtains key pieces of information such as Social Security and driver’s license numbers and uses it for their own personal gain.
This site included information about scam alerts, assistance on lost/stolen wallets, victim issues, victim impact studies and identity theft in the workplace. This would be an excellent resource for referring victims or community groups who desire more information about identity theft.
Jennifer contacted me to let me know to correct the above link and she also suggested an alternative site that has plenty of additional identity theft information. Check out:
Do you ride a motorcycle or bicycle? Is a helmet part of your regular equipment? Which helmet is the best? Which standard should you be looking for when you buy a helmet? The June issue of Motorcyclist magazine has the best consumer helmet article we have seen in years.
It has in-depth background on impact theory, helmet construction, brain physiology and more. The depth of research by author Dexter Ford is indicated by quotes from many of the gurus of the motorcycle helmet field, including Dave Thom of Collision and Injury Dynamics, who did the test lab work for the magazine.
This one is a good read, even for those whose primary interest is bicycle helmets and it is available online.

BURTON, Mich. (AP) — Two police cruisers collided during a chase Saturday, killing a Flint police officer who had been with the force four months and seriously injuring three other officers, police said.
The crash happened about 1:50 a.m. EDT as police were trying to stop a driver in Genesee County, police said in a statement. Police said the driver led officers through three communities before being caught.
The two cruisers collided in Burton, crashing into a house. One car flipped over and caught fire, witnesses said.
Police from Flint and the Michigan State Police continued the chase and arrested a 19-year-old man, who was being held in the Genesee County jail pending charges. A female passenger also was expected to be charged.
Police had tried to stop the man after he was driving erratically, Saginaw radio station WSGW reported.
The officer who died was identified as Owen Fisher, 24, a Flint native. He could have worked anywhere in the state but wanted to be a police officer in his hometown, colleagues told The Flint Journal.
”He was a very enthusiastic officer, dedicated, hard working,” Deputy Police Chief Gary Hagler said.
Fisher was a graduate of Kalamazoo College and a 2000 graduate of Powers Catholic High School, where he played soccer.
Fisher was a passenger in a traffic cruiser driven by an officer with six years of experience. The cruiser was hit by a patrol cruiser driven by an 11-year veteran. Both cars were responding to a call to help other officers in the chase.
The driver of the traffic cruiser was hospitalized in serious condition. The other driver was hospitalized in serious but stable condition, while his partner, a six-year veteran, also was in serious but stable condition.
Additional information about the officers wasn’t immediately released.
The crash was being investigated by Burton police.
A state police trooper also sustained an ankle injury after officers stopped the suspect’s car and a Flint police cruiser bumped the suspect’s car into the trooper’s car, said Trooper James Williams at the Flint Post.
The last Flint Police Department officer to die in the line of duty was Leslie Keely, who died in a crash during a September 1999 chase.
