seiously, i think it is rather disturbing that there still exists the lack of communcation between legal authorities in this country. That was one thing that was supposed to change since 9/11.
of course i could be sarcastic and say that "hey, it's Florida, she could be a democrat, and needs to be purged from the voters list" but I won't

Hey, aren't you supposed to be workin' at your new job by now? Go on, get outa here will ya?

In regards to Ashcroft, the lady's warrant went into the federal law enforcement database, even though it appears she already paid for the fine. Then the Assistant U.S. Attorney Peter Outerbridge conceded there were some "discrepancies." From this U.S. Attorney's admittance, I concluded Ashcroft's office had a hand in this error. Was that an incorrect conclusion, and if so, why would the U.S. Attorney admit the possible mistake if his office played no role?

Hey, I don't mind folks bein' tough on the environment, so long as they get their facts straight and their outstanding warrant database updated.

Heh I bet ashcroft doesn't even know what a database is much less manipulate one to generate a discrepancy. Sounds to me like they have terrorist cells in their software.

Anyway I don't start my new job until july 6. So I have a week left in my crappy job where I'm going to surf and post a lot. I have a week of being unemployed where I'm going to surf and post A LOT. And then I start my new job ... where I'm going to surf and post a lot hehe.

Highly unlikely anyone in Washington had anything to do with this. There are thousands of Assistant US Attorneys all over the country, all of whom have the first jurisdiction over the cases in their area. It's just a local screw-up based on federal info.

Since I'm not entirely sure myself, I'll take your word for it. Thanks for the clarification. I should retract the title of the thread then, if I was somehow able to do so.

I still like the story, however.

So you are saying that in effect, nothing will change?



I just love that they are arresting American Citizens for not paying fines at Yellowstone when they should be (according to what they say they are doing) hunting down terrorists.

Hell, the Customs people did not even look at my little form I filled out when I came back from Australia, they just let me through. Then they made us go back through a TSA checkpoint when we were already in a more secure area.

Good old government efficiency.
