Crime fighting goes digital
In 2008 it’s going to be harder for America’s Most Wanted criminals to disappear in a crowded city. The FBI and Clear Channel have teamed up to display images of criminals on Clear Channel’s digital Billboards in 20 major cities across America.
The 200 billboards will display 3-story high images of fugitives’ mugs, missing children, or public safety info in real-time in cities such as Atlanta, Miami, New Jersey, LA and Las Vegas. (Source)

It’s about time!
this would be good except, some go into smaller towns for obsurity..where they know it’s not likely for someone to watch america’s most wanted or know what’s going on..also if they are going to do major cities it needs to be more than 20 including the mexican border..this is a very good idea..but it needs to be tweaked..these criminals need to feel completely closed in
Well I hope they can catch Bin Laden ass soon with these posters!!!
This sounds like a good idea..except if the perp decides to move to a small town where no one really watches america’s most wanted
hahaha…never thought of New Jersey as having a big city.
just one more comment…It would be dumb if a perpetrator moves to a small town. Why? everybody knows everybody. If a new mouse moves in, people will know. This coming from someone who lives in a small town. They’re filled with nosy ass people who have absolutely NOTHING to do but mind other people’s biznaz.
^^^Small towns take care of their own..and if the criminal can manipulate the town like he/she has the authorities they can live in relative obscurity for some time. Small towns are nosy but if you don’t give them anything to suspect they’ll leave you alone..it can easily happen and is a very smart move for a criminal
I’m always asking “don’t I know you?”. Just watch! Someone is going to tell me “yes” and convince me that we’re long-lost friends and off me!
*Updating my living will*
-Sandra, I leave you all my CD’s and my mortgage!
-Mama, you can have your car back. I never learned how to drop the top anyway!
-My neice and nephews (my children by proxy) who’ve been little hellions lately, can have the run-down piece of property I inherited in ‘bama. I love the kids, but now when they’re bad.
-The rest of you can divy up my DVD collection! If nothing more, you can trade them in for cash at Blockbuster.
Love you all, it was fun while it lasted!
*niece.
bsoul you are crazy . lmao seriously though can i have the cd collection ? sandra can have the mortgage .lmao
Licia, you and Sandra can work out the details. I’m not one to fuss over specifics. All I ask is that you give my only Destiny Child CD to Sandra, she’ll be heartbroken if you don’t. LOL
The rest of my music is cool, though. You’re going to love Engelbert Humperdinck, Barry Manilow and Tom Jones. Put them in rotation in your car, push play and just lean when you drive. People will know that you have it like that. That’s gangster!
Folks are going to starting singing like birds! The prison population is getting ready to rise! (ha ha)
