You got their NAMES! You got their ADDRESSES! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T FIND THEM? Police, DO YOUR JOB! Arrest them and bring them to court and then charge them with the additional count of CONTEMPT! If you don't, YOU ( the police ), should be charged with at LEAST contempt! WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T FIND THEM? If I was a judge YOU would have to answer that question for sure!
I wanna know how many of these goons have been locked up since it has been 24 hrs since this came into effect? It would make helluva lot sense for the reporter to do a follow-up. Please dont drop the ball on this one!
Ninety percent of these cases could easily be rectified by traffic court judges issuing bench warrants for those folks and then having the police run them down. It works pretty good elsewhere, why not here? OH, that's right corruption!!! Once again, somebody's getting paid and the taxpayer is GETTING SCREWED!! I thought that not showing up for court, ANY COURT, was illegal. More CHARGES! More FINES!! More REVENUE!!!! BUT, we won't see any of it, because some bastard will pocket the proceeds!
I love it. Thanks Examiner for bringing this to my attention 'cause the list has folks SSN and names and that just made my day. I just sold this list to a couple of my clients, one of them being a bounty hunter, and the other an overseas spam and ID exploration service!
Looks like the list has a huge chunk of names that sound either middle eastern or hispanic...are they trying to get people to turn in terrorists or illegal immigrants? Recent discussion seems to bias middle eastern with terroroist and hispanic as illegal. What's next bro?
Great! Why don't the Maryland folks also run a tab on that site that pays rewards for people who rat other people out? I can't recall any website run by a govt entity that had ever done this? What makes sense is to run a list of deadbeat dads and moms, or child molesters, but not this stuff.
