          FBI's N-DEx Database Simplifies Agency Data Sharing
 
(Does this mean more of the
1,000,000+ fugitives will be extradited?)

4/21/08 -
FBI announces the creation of N-DEx - a national information-sharing system available through a secure Internet site for law enforcement and criminal justice agencies.  N-DEx allows agencies to search and analyze data using some powerful automated capabilities, helping to connect the dots between people, places, and events. 

Historically, America is defeated militarily only when we help fight the civil wars of nations who do not understand our democratic system or our selfless desire to share it with them.  The criminals in America understand our system just fine and their exploitation of its limited funding and personnel is diminishing our safety and security.  How much longer before we fight a civil war we can win - the war against those within our own borders who take our lives and our property just like any foreign invader?  One in Every 100 Americans is now in jail - 2/29/2008 

Florida Sheriff's Dept. Takes Action on Fraudulent E-Mails
CUFF salutes the Collier County, FL Sheriff's Dept. for advising citizens in 12/07 to begin forwarding all fraudulent e-mails to the Economic Crimes Unit for investigation.  We hope other law enforcement jurisdictions will follow the lead of this forward-thinking sheriff's department.  The end result will be a drastic cut in Internet fraud as fraudsters start to recognize that victims are no  longer without practical recourse.
