Police use GPS as a Crime Tool

I'm a law abiding citizen 99 percent of the time... with a few "Shouldn't have gone through that yellow light" thrown in there. So why wouldn't I want police officers and detectives to use what's available to make this world we live in any safer? That's right I don't care, I want them to use the technology.

Recently in Pittsburgh, there's been controversy over use of GPS technology to track locations of criminals, suspects, or Megan Law violators. This technology has been of great use to law enforcement officers in the area. It is often much more effect and more efficient than sending out an officer to pursue the suspect. As in big cities and facing a large variety of underturmined escape routes if the suspect recognizes a tail behind him.

The case is being brought up to the supreme court for undermined specifics explained in Pennsylvania Law.

Bailout, Rescue, Hello Debt?

Well, actually it's all three. We are in fact, bailing out those companies (which exactly get a portion of the moneys is to be determined) who are in disarray. Mostly the bank and housing area. The original 700 billion 3 page plan was written up and supported by most... Senator McCain and Obama both supported but each had their own individual stipulations that wished to be included. Although, in the vote Democrats and Republicans failed to pass the action. Now the new plan is 810 billion... not sure where they pulled that number from... but thats it. Wall street wants rescued... Do I feel like the government should get involved? Do you feel those companys should continue to run their businesses the way they have... or should they reevaluate and figure things out within? Or should they be bought out by another company looking to diversify or a competitor thats not struggling and has the resources to buy?
One thing is for certain... change.
