in six weeks, US Marshals arrested at least 8,000 violent offenders

"Federal investigators and local police arrested more than 8,000 fugitives wanted on charges ranging from murder to rape during a recent six-week sweep in some of the nation's most crime-ravaged cities, the Justice Department said Wednesday."

I'm guessing they had a hard target search on every farmhouse, outhouse, hen house,....

- Parolees, bail skips, I wonder if they monitor them for ahile, round up their associated crimes, they do use these planes and fake cell towers to - zeitgeist Mar 23, 13:34
- years ago when I lived in Seattle, the Times did an expose piece on how many folks had outstanding warrants and weren't being pursued -- nm - crash davis Mar 23, 13:30 1
