Richmond Police will wake up residents who leave gadgets in their cars
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Misc. Tech, Transportation, Videos,
We’re not the biggest of fans seeing red and blue flashing lights behind us, as that usually means the fun has just ended. Thanks to a new initiative in Richmond, Virginia, folks will have to worry about early-morning knocks on the door from the boys in blue as well between the hours of midnight and 4:00 a.m if they leave valuable gadgets in their cars.
RPD has started a new initiative, or wake up call service for drivers who leave itesms like smartphones, tablets, and MP3 players in their cars. Night shift officers will be patrolling the streets, peering into curbside vehicles to see if there are any valuables left behind. The motive behind the initiative is to curb vehicle break-ins, which hit a record 20 incidents over the last month. The wake-up call service is way to teach drivers a lesson, RPD says. Though we’re not too sure drivers will be coherent at 4:00 in the morning, we're hopeful that the officers will be able to teach them a little common sense.
Checkout the video above as WBBC 12 NBC reports on the initiative, and let us know in the comments if you think it’s a smart move on RPD behalf below.

Chrysler aims to deploy the Dodge Durango as the next SUV Police Cruiser
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Corporate News, Transportation,
For years Ford has been the staple of law enforcement, so much so that instinctually my foot would hit the brake every time I saw a Crown Victoria in my rear view. But the Crown Vic is being sent to pasture, as a new era of police cruisers is upon us.
Chrysler has been on and off in producing a wanted cruiser. It's been over 40 years since the last great era of Chrysler vehicles being used regularly for law enforcement. Now Chrysler is back in the game. Departments nationwide have widely adapted the Dodge Charger as one of their own, alongside the Chevy Tahoe for those that need a larger cruiser. It seemed that the Tahoe was set to be the next Crown Vic, at least in the SUV-category of cruiser, but not if Chrysler has a say in it.

Amish driver gone wild in New York country road
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Transportation,
Most of us can remember the day that we were given freedom by our parents. The world was in our hands and the possibilities were endless, right? Now, we all know the Amish for shunning the use of mass electricity, TVs, and other everyday technologies we’ve come to love, but for a brief time in an Amish person’s life, they’re given the freedom to experience life as we know it.
Now you’re probably thinking, "What's the worst that can happen when Amish are on the loose?" Well, lets just say it can bring a party to a crashing end.
Last Sunday, in Sherman, NY, police responded to an alleged “buggy party.” On route to responding to the call, a buggy abruptly switched lanes and hit the patrol car, then flipped, injuring one of the four passengers. Furthermore, police reported the buggy was filled with beer. To complicate the matter more, the driver, 20 years old, was the host of the party.
When police finally arrived, they observed buggies fleeing the scene. Oh, how we wish we could see this on next installment of TruTv’s World’s Dumbest Drivers.

Lindsay Lohan has blasted claims she was involved in a hit and run as a "complete lie."
The Mean Girls actress was accused by the manager of the Hookah Lounge nightclub in Hollywood of hitting him with her Porsche last night, but the troubled star has denied the claims, saying they are '"absurd."
"Scrape? This is all a complete lie. I've been at community service. Last night, I attempted to wish a friend happy birthday, which I didn't even get to do because I was freaked out by all of the paparazzi. These false accusations are absurd," she wrote in an extended statement on Twitter.
Witnesses claim Lindsay struck the manager on her way out from the Sayers Club but say he was not injured. However, he went to the emergency room and according to TMZ.com he is going to press charges and hire a lawyer.
Despite his claims, law enforcement authorities claimed there was "no evidence" of a crime having taken place. "There was no evidence of a crime or a hit and run," a police spokesperson said.
3 ways to avoid speeding tickets that won’t cost you a thing
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Features, Transportation,
Each day I commute about 60 miles and I see a lot of things on the road. Some things are just gorgeous, like the snowcapped Olympic Mountains, while the other stuff I see is sheer stupidity, like the lady who decided to go against the flow of traffic today. These a pretty much non-issues in the world of driving, while we think that the real threat are the boys in blue.

Over the years, I’ve noticed ways of how to avoid tickets at little or no cost to you. Continue reading for some tips!

Researchers say police already use iPhone tracking data
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Corporate News,
A pair of mobile forensic researchers who independently identified a location tracking system on the iPhone 4 several months before it was publicized earlier this week say that law enforcement agencies are currently using data from a hidden iOS file called "consolidated.db" in criminal investigations.
Evidence from the location tracking database stored on iPhones "has been used in actual criminal investigations and yes, it's led to convictions," said Alex Levinson, a Rochester Institute of Technology researcher and technical lead for iOS forensics consultant Katana Forensics.
But Levinson and Christopher Vance, a Marshall University digital forensics specialist, also contend that Apple probably included the technology in its iOS operating system to deliver location-based services like iAds rather than to create dossiers on the whereabouts of iPhone users.
A great deal of buzz has surrounded a Wednesday O'Reilly Radar blog post by researchers Pete Warden and Alasdair Allan that highlighted a hidden file on iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad which includes latitude-longitude coordinates and a timestamp to track where such devices have been geographically and when.
But Warden and Allan apparently weren't the first to discover the file.

Mel Gibson in Alcohol-Free Car Crash
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies,
Mel Gibson was involved in a car crash last night.
Gibson was driving his 2008 Maserati on the Malibu Canyon Road in California at around 8:35pm when the accident occurred, but escaped unharmed. According to TMZ, a report by the California Highway Patrol read, “For unknown reasons, Mr. Gibson steered his car to the right and struck the rock hillside. He stopped his car at the scene and was contacted by officers from the West Valley CHP Area.”
Officer Leland Tang said Mel was alone in the car and no drugs or alcohol were involved, but admitted the actor was baffled as to what had gone on: “Gibson told officers in the field he did not know how the car drifted out of the lane and into the hillside. It was totally an unintentional act.”
Although Mel denied being on the phone at the time of the accident, he would not confirm whether or not he had fallen asleep behind the wheel. Mel cooperated with officers and was given a lift home by a friend after his vehicle was towed away.

Cop at Lindsay Lohan’s DUI Scene Tampered With Evidence
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues,
Whether or not people think she deserves it, Lindsay Lohan got a big break. Perhaps not career-wise, but more along the lines of her legal woes…
Lohan’s now-infamous 2007 DUI could have been a lot worse for the celebrity fashion designer. According to a Santa Monica Police report, the officer at the scene of the crime mistook her cocaine for a crushed breath mint!
“[I] discovered a folded Clinique sun care card with an unknown substance caked on to the surface of the card in Lohan’s right rear pocket… Some of the white substance fell to the floor. I used my foot to see what had fell but thought nothing of it. I did not recognize the substance attached to the card and initially thought the substance was a wet crushed breath mint. I put the card into the jail trash can next to the booking windows. I was looking at the floor and began to recognize the substance as resembling powder cocaine. I then recovered the card from the trash.”
Either she paid the guy or he’s a big enough fan of the actress to tamper with the evidence—could a police officer truly be that incompetent?

Amy Winehouse Charged With Assault
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
Amy Winehouse has been charged with common assault.
The singer voluntarily attended Milton Keynes police station yesterday afternoon to answer questions about an incident at the city’s theatre on Saturday and was formally arrested and charged with a Section 5 public order offence and common assault.
Amy is accused of kicking the theatre’s front-of-house manager Richard Pound after he tried to eject her from the audience during a performance of pantomime Cinderella. The 26-year-old star - who is thought to have been drinking - reportedly spent more than half an hour of the first act of the performance yelling expletives.
Her outbursts were said to include “f**k Cinders, Prince Charming, marry me” and branding the Ugly Sisters “b***hes.” Families in the audience got upset when Amy repeatedly stood up, blocking their view to jeer at the cast.
She is due to appear at Milton Keynes Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 20 January 2010.
