Concerns Surface Over Computer System Used to Fight Meth
An AP newswire article by Samira Jafari, via the Star-Telegram.com, reports that:
Detective Brian Lewis returns to his desk after lunch, scanning e-mails he missed.More here.
One catches his eye: It says a suspected member of a methamphetamine ring bought a box of Sudafed at 1:34 p.m. at a CVS pharmacy.
Minutes later, Lewis is in his truck, circling the parking lot, searching for the woman.
Lewis did not find her that day, but the scenario illustrates the way law enforcement is increasingly relying on computerized tracking systems in their fight against meth, an illegal drug that is often brewed in makeshift labs and has become a particular scourge in Appalachia and the Midwest.
