Phoenix, AZ—Your cellphones give away your whereabouts however that data is easy to obtain or more difficult depending on how cavalier or careless you are with giving permissions.   Much of our credit information, utility records are available to almost anyone.     Court, property and tax information is public record.     They only require a freedom of information request to the appropriate government agencies.     Dog, hunting, fishing licenses along with gun permits are often public records depending on the jurisdictions. Professional business licenses are always public information.     I’ve only given you a few of the records that invade your privacy and there are many more.   Have I frightened you yet?    In the last couple of decades the technology of LPR’s has provided an interesting invasion of your private activities.    LPR stands    for, license plate readers.    Currently all over...

Phoenix, AZ—You see the heavy internet advertising for insurance to protect you, should you be charged with a crime in a self-defense shooting.    Is this too good to be true?    You won’t like the answer! All of these insurance contracts are carefully crafted to give these companies, in the fine print, an out, for the slightest excuse.    The decisions are not made by insurance company lawyers, but by their bean counters.    They may cover you or not.   The lawyers employed by the insurance companies on the cheap may not be qualified to handle these types of cases.    They’re not going to immediately employ a qualified licensed investigator to locate needed video, evidence or witnesses.    If that happens at all, it will be too late to help you.    Frankly, you’d probably get better representation by the public defender.    They have poor resources and lack needed assets however they do have lots ...

Chicago, IL— It began only 200 feet from my old home at Marina City in the lower level.     It was in the middle of the night and it was cold as any miserable Chicago winter.     Smollet’s grand scheme was to pretend to be a hate crime victim, that was beaten, tortured with a hangman’s noose and humiliated.    He would claim his attackers were two white MAGA hat wearing Trump supporters that just happed to be in that desolate area.    Finding    a MAGA hat for sale in that solid Democrat area would prove impossible.   It is highly unlikely that any racist Trump supporters would have ever watched Smollet’s show, Entourage.    They’d not even know or recognize any of its cast members that were predominantly black.    Yet, the racist attackers, according to Smollet, knew who he was and that he was a homosexual.   Smolett obviously didn’t know Chicago very well because Trump,supporters are an endangered species ...

Los Angeles, CA— Since Covid-19, the release of more than 100,000 prison inmates and the elimination of cash bail requirements there’s been a huge increase of roving bands of masked and armed criminals.   These thugs are committing both armed and strong armed robberies, car-jackings and home invasions.  They usually arrive in more than one vehicle and they rush their unprepared victims.  They attack retail businesses, individuals and are easily evading police.  Police have been castrated by the politicians and are strictly  prohibited from making street stops of characters that fit the sex, age and race profiles of the usual suspects.  There is no government treatment or cure here. It’s absolutely up to all of us to be prepared to deal with these roving bands of dangerous criminals.   We’re safest at home behind locked doors.  But reality dictates that we must leave our homes to attend our jobs and schools. We must shop for groceries, our ...

  Washington,DC—All those stories, tests and nation nuclear chest beating is all bullshit.    There may be a few missle delivered atomic bombs that need to adjust to changing geographic considerations, but only a few.   When the United States deployed two atomic bombs nearly a 80 years ago, they were by necessity delivered by conventional B-29 bombers. They were slow propeller driven airplanes.   Since then both bomber jets and ballistic missiles exist to deliver these horrifying bombs.     Of course, the bombs are, a little more effective these days with much faster delivery systems.     Major governments can’t be so incredibly dumb to not have already planted stationary atom bombs in every major city.     Delivery mishaps, or time delay issues are over and setting off the fireworks are a cellphone telephone call away. With 50 years of easily penetrated American borders, bringing in and assembling nuclear bombs here is no more...

Phoenix AZ—As a former Chicago cop and licensed private investigator I suddenly found myself drafted into TV news.     I had no formal journalism education and doing TV news never entered my mind.     It was late in 1989, I met a young investigative TV producer, Jim LaMay and his sidekick reporter, William LaJeunesse.    Those two saw me in action in the Phoenix, AZ courts and begin to follow me around.    They were both visionaries that wanted to know every way to gather newsworthy information in order to beat the competition.   I handed them an interesting story of a young black man recently railroaded into a second degree murder conviction for killing a white man who was also the son of a local judge.   It turned out the Public Defender was over confident that the case would be won simply with a legitimate self-defense claim.    Virtually no investigation or efforts to expose the horrific criminal history of the de...
