History of the camera phone

Cell phones are neat little things. There is just so much you can do with them nowadays. It used to be, way back before cell phones became the "thing" that all you could do with your phone was talk on it. And the most your phone could do for you was connect you to someone else, either when they called you or you called them. But now- now things are different. Now your phone can do all sorts of things like- browse the internet, send email, take photos, take video, play games, and even help get you arrested.

Barry Glenn Thunder knows this all to well
, since he'd been using his cell phone to take pornographic photos and videos of two small children which is how his phone ended up getting him arrested.

It seems that Thunder left his phone in the possession of someone else, who began playing with the phone. While messing with it, they discovered the photos and videos and informed police.

Police say the 3 and 4 year-old victims, who are sisters and their mother, used to live at 3520 North 8th street with Thunder.

Police say after the phone was discovered, interviews with the second victim revealed she had also been attacked.

But it's the evidence that sets this case apart for police.

"I can't recall one specifically that we've found these kind of depictions that actually made itself, that was not only videoed and pictures taken, and luckily for us, saved," said Bailey.

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...
