Commentary on the Article  - “Why Cops Lie”

As to the experience of staff of the Foundation for the Child Victims of The Family Courts, we find that there is a globally cynical view of a parent who files a complaint – or even asks a question of police, where the back story involves  custody litigation. We have found that police immediately take a position that the person making the call is somehow making a false accusation against the other party, or somehow looking to establish an excuse for “getting away with ….....”something!

In one instance a call to local police in the midst of a major snow storm, occasioning road closures in the New York tri state area regarding a specific area was met with a barrage of questions  as to why the caller was asking such questions. A direct response to the question which involved the driving of a child to a parent after a visit and an attempt to gauge time and driving conditions with storm conditions was followed by a team of officers being sent to the home of a domestic violence victim for a well check on the child and demands that the parent provide the name and number of the parent to whom the child was being returned so that officers could “investigate”.

With the intervention of the FCVFC at the time of the event, this over reach of demands for investigation where there was no probable cause for any police intervention was stopped. A complaint filed with the officer in charge of this police jurisdiction was met with completely appropriate internal investigation, an apology to our client and an assurance that future interventions would be handled with insight and discretion. The FCVFC appreciated the response of the Chief and said so in writing.

The Foundation always deals with adverse actions experienced by our clients with a response that takes in consideration for the immediate protection of our client's rights as well as the public policy issues central to the presenting problem which threatened our client.

The Mena Connection - Exposing the CIA, Bush, Clinton, Iran Contra, And ...

"A number of allegations have been written about and several local, state, and federal investigations have taken place related to the notion of the Mena Intermountain Municipal Airport as a CIA drop point in large scale cocaine trafficking beginning in the latter part of the 1980s. The topic has received some press coverage that has included allegations of awareness, participation and/or coverup involvement of figures such as future presidents Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush, as well as future Florida Governor Jeb Bush and Saline County prosecutor Dan Harmon (who was convicted of numerous felonies including drug and racketeering charges in 1997). The Mena airport was also associated with Adler Berriman (Barry) Seal, an American drug smuggler and aircraft pilot who flew covert flights for the CIA and the Medellín Cartel." -wikipedia

Arkansas cops send malware to whistleblowers' lawyers

An Arkansas lawyer representing ex-cops who blew the whistle on corruption in the Fort Smith Police Department says that when he gave the police brass a blank hard-drive for discovery documents, they returned it laden with sneaky malware, including a password-sniffing keylogger and a backdoor that would let the police department spy on their legal opponents.

According to court documents filed last week in the case, Campbell provided police officials with an external hard drive for them to load with e-mail and other data responding to his discovery request. When he got it back, he found something he didn't request. In a subfolder titled D:\Bales Court Order, a computer security consultant for Campbell allegedly found three well-known trojans, including:

* Win32:Zbot-AVH[Trj], a password logger and backdoor 
* NSIS:Downloader-CC[Trj], a program that connects to attacker-controlled servers and downloads and installs additional programs, and 
*Two instances of Win32Cycbot-NF[Trj], a backdoor

All three trojans are usually easily detected by antivirus software. In an affidavit filed in the whistle-blower case, Campbell's security consultant said it's unlikely the files were copied to the hard drive by accident, given claims by Fort Smith police that department systems ran real-time AV protection.

"Additionally, the placement of these trojans, all in the same sub-folder and not in the root directory, means that [t]he trojans were not already on the external hard drive that was sent to Mr. Campbell, and were more likely placed in that folder intentionally with the goal of taking command of Mr. Campbell's computer while also stealing passwords to his accounts."
