Punishment For Cyber Crime – Life Imprisonment, Facebook Makes Millio
2009-10-30 13:12:00 At WATBlog, we’ve commented quite a few times on cyber crime and how the fast changing face of the Internet has a lost of scope for misuse. A while back, we covered the amendments made to the IT Act. While the post was focused on the changes and how it could affect the privacy of the individual, there are several positive impacts to the Act as well. The IT Act of 2000, was modified in December 2008 and has come into force on October 27. A lot of crimes now come under the ambit of the IT Act. Some of the offences are: Cyber Terrorism Wi-Fi Hacking Sending / Viewing child pornography Video Voyeurism Identity Theft Spam. The original act was vague, and had only one criminal section – Section 66 for cyber crime. Now, it possesses a commendable expanse of powers for specific acts. Section 66F for example is applicable in case of Cyber Terrorism. If Wi-Fi or Internet is used to send terror mail, offenders can be effectively punished for life. (Life sentence). Similarly, any...

Danger hours: At what time does crime happen most in Chicago?
2009-10-20 05:45:00 By Alexia Elejalde-RuizRedEyeAsk Chicagoans what hour of the day they think violence in the city peaks, and many guess it's the early morning hours, when the bars are closing and most streets are dark and desolate save for a handful of drunken revelers. Not so. According to Chicago police statistics obtained by RedEye, the most reported violent index crimes citywide happen from 9 to 10 p.m. Violent index crimes, as classified by police, include homicide, criminal sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault and aggravated battery....

Cyber Crime Rising – Indian Companies Most Vulnerable
2009-09-23 11:28:00 It’s no news that Cyber Crime is on the rise in India. From privacy issues to identity theft, to insecure hack and phish attacks, the list is endless. Though cyber law is improving and steps are taken to stop it from proliferating, (check out our coverage of India’s first cyber court, and the awareness initiatives by the AP Government) the threat is quite huge. A recent newspaper article in the Hindu highlighted the seriousness of cyber crime. āOnline crime is getting bigger by the day. Cyber criminals make more money than thieves and underworld dons,ā says Websense Regional Director for India and SAARC, Mr Surendra Singh. He stated that 2009 alone saw in increase in the number of malicious Web sites by 233% (and that in the first half of the year). Overall, the increase in 671% over the last one year. Some theorize that the recession has had a major impact. With so many people desperate for jobs and quick earnings, the scope of luring them into cons becomes esaier....

Book Review: Luggage By Kroger: A True Crime Memoir By Gary Taylor
2009-09-19 19:20:00 By Loyd Eskildson Luggage by Kroger is billed as "a true crime memoir," and thus got my interest. It's true the protagonist Catherine Mehaffey was a serial murdering femme fatale masquerading as a law-abiding attorney; however, the author's (Gary Taylor) relationship with her consumes far too much of the book, thereby relegating most of Ms. Mehaffey's alleged crimes to too fleeting reference. Luggage by Kroger opens in Houston at the scene of anesthesiologist George Tedesco's murder - the day his 'divorce trial' versus Catherine Mehaffey was to begin. During the past year his former three-month common-law 'wife' (per Catherine) had been the target of frequent harassment and theft complaints by Tedesco, and she immediately became the prime suspect. Catherine, in turn, defended herself and spiced up the case alleging Tedesco had an affair with another attorney's wife and was also a homosexual, broadening the suspect pool. Taylor also briefly referen...

Legislative crime spree devastates Illinois public schools
2009-08-31 00:33:00 Many people have asked me, "So, what's the big deal, if the General Assembly gives millions of dollars to parochial schools, even if the State Constitution does prohibit such a thing?" The big deal is that the State Legislature is cutting a huge amount of money from essential public school programs, such as textbooks, to pay for it. I've told you, in previous blog posts, about how the Springfield Capital Bill is donating millions of your tax dollars to parochial schools, in clear violation of Article X, Section 3, of the Illinois Constitution. Now comes word, in this article from Friday's (August 28, 2009) Chicago Tribune, that the Legislature is eliminating a state fund to buy textbooks for public schools. Last year, according to...
Donors and Would-be Donors Beware (Sathya Sai Central Trust Example)
2009-08-30 01:34:00 As the years pass, more evidence emerges of the very non-divine manner in which Sathya Sai Baba and his financial wing collect vast funds - particularly from wealthy donors. As with scams the world over, there are methods of 'spotting' - in this case, by ashram staff of visitors most likely to donate large sums. The admixture of 'miracles' - such as Sai Baba's 'materializing' of expensive rings or pendants etc., for the wealthy - is central to setting up of these traps. This operation involves the participation of the registration office, as well as Sathya Sai Baba's close servitors, many of them wealthy or those who have given away their wealth to him. Criminals and police forces often refer to this type of spotting as finding the 'mark' or victim to be set up. Donors and Would-be Donors Beware There are two classes of individual, and in some cases institutions, who have every reason to be looking at these issues. First, those who have already been donors to Sathya Sa...

Police testing non-crime guns
2009-08-21 22:27:00 Snowflakes points to a case where the police insist on testing a gun that the owner handed over after a traffic accident. I think it is a waste of time and resources for the police to run a ballistics test on any firearm that happens to come into their possession, especially from situations that are not crime scenes. From the article it seems to me that the police have a “policy” that is at odds with the law.

So to cast doubt on her ruling is to cast doubt on almost half of the Supreme Court and the rest of the federal panel that ruled with Sotomayor. Does that make them racists too? Obviously not.An interesting study was released this week...

Indian Newspaper Reports of Killings In Sai Baba?s Bedroom
2009-06-22 04:49:00 Reading through the press reports written at the time of the police killings in Sathya Sai Baba's bedroom under hugely suspicious circumstances in June 1993 is instructive. At first, word had escaped too far and fast for the Puttaparthi officials to stop to slam a suppressive lid on. But then followed the monstrous machinery of cover up. For the Anantapur District Journalists' Union (ADJU) unanswered questions, see: Press Council of India Long Silent On Sathya Sai Baba Bedroom Killings. The powerful central, state, local and ashram cover up that that followed was known to many in India, and beyond. In a properly functioning democratic country, there would have been rigorous, accountable police and jurisprudential processes. Many Indians have pointed out that Sathya Sai Baba will never be prosecuted. He, they say, is far too powerful in his sway over politicians of the major political parties.

There isn?t any crime that our political leaders have not committed. It is a shame for the ?mahan? Indian democracy that murder, decoity and rape accused get elected as the Members of Parliament.
