Each year, around the beginning of March, I begin to check the FBI most wanted lists. Mostly as an exercise in how far I can get in locating information not previously released by the FBI. #10 on this list has an interesting FB page.  And a $1 million tag on his head. Usually it’s a tip off from a civilian that gets one of these 10 ten villains nailed.  Browse through – some of the personal info is hysterical, but always bear in mind that they are all extremely dangerous. (I’d add dangerous “people” but I’m not a hypocrite.)

Part II of ” The FBI – Behind the Dark Suits” illustrates the FBI’s latest technique for centralizing criminal justice information – N-DEx. Up until now, this registry has only been available to limited law enforcement officials. It is now being opened up to thousands more criminal justice agencies. We’ll also explore FOIL and need-t0-know accessability in defense cases.
