Poetry From Manic Depression

Renton Innes - Oct 9 2007 6:49 pm
Immersed in water, my hair waves like seaweed in a sea storm, Waking me without Sleep, into an ocean of white capped horizontal waves, Beating me to the ground, while I stand up facing each; head on. Relentless struggle dragging me down, gasping for air I slowly sink, eyes wide open, salt in my eyes, To tired to cry, letting go of my every fear, my pride; I give in.

My Personal Thoughts Poem

If what I read is true, I imagine the cost of policing will be decreasing with the increase of the computer software and hardware investment the police have already made.

I understand also the low cost in maintaining such a system with just electricity and a few yearly hardware updates and replacement of faulty storage/retrieval devices when needed, new static storage devices make it easier to service etc for everyone.

What I would also like to see is the Every Cent taken from the computer online e crime labs profit to go back to society to which they are designed to protect in the first place.

This is ensure improvement of all areas that remain a threat to the mental health abilities in providing a safer place to live, meaning criminals from within closed doors are also made responsible for their actions, losses and harm to society... when warranted and not facaded by a new force of machines that cannot detect E crime of a new level, like virus detection and DOS attacks which makes a personal computer ip address look and seem like a criminal or terrorist amongst others... who will be the neutral party to ensure the e crim labs are protected from their own attraction to those who are more sussceptable to crimanal acts to solve an acceptable level of social pressure...?

I would hope that the crinimals dont go back to working from the street level again, where it's more brutal and life threatening than behind closed ports or doors.

Who are policing the police when they are unable to act upon themselves and their own in their positions in society, including the law and those associated within it's own inbred subjective old boy back rubbing nationalists and loyalists or religious obessed extreemists of all denominators and race, borderlined with racist biggots infecting those left to face the fall out from yester years public democratic fashion, bylaws that incriminate those who are rare or disabled to establish a norm omong the minority or immigrated patriots to crown the exiled king's queen bow, if the time is now, burn your bibles and rewrite your own, tomorrow is unlike today when you are freed from the chains of white power prejudice from a delusional state that once was, blind and without the third eye from objective denialist demmentia; judge upon yourself that of others and find fate in your own pool with legal tied hands behind your back, you are the sack and we are your kittens, who is going to be your stream? with who's blood are you going to paint our dreams? What were we looking for when we started going back to those who fell in your path to nowhere but the circles we are walking in, smoke signals are blowing in the wind and you are set on concrete shoes for those running in the wrong direction, leadership comes from watching those who lead, lead, and following the same path and steps to acheive the best, together, as one, tahi. grimmace all you like and swear to those who cant hear your slient screams, amongst the seven sins criminals strike as people without, within your invisable dream's intrusion on our life, on earth...

New Zealand Future Policing Policy Blueprint Extract

A lot of people think e-crime is just cybercrime and computer hacking, but
it’s not. The majority of e-crimes involve all sorts of crime where
computers or electronic devices are being used as:

• a tool in the commission of an offence;
• a storage device in the commission of an offence;
• the target of an offence.

What does the Electronic Crime Lab do?

The ECL exists to recover electronic evidence. As you know, society’s
changing. We’re storing our information differently, we’re communicating
differently and, as a result, during investigations we’re coming across not
just physical evidence but electronic evidence, as well – hard drives,
computers, laptops, personal organisers, cellphones, digital cameras, you
name it – and it needs a forensic expert to bring the evidence out.


Not just that, it needs to be in a form investigators can understand and that a jury
can understand when it goes to court.

We also provide forensic assistance with the investigation, sometimes even
sitting in on interviews and asking questions.

We have three divisions within the ECL:

• Signal processing: this is how it all started in the 1980s. It’s basically
recovering audio and video evidence;
• Data processing: this is now the biggest part of our operation.
Everything that contains data needing to be recovered is analysed by
the team; and
• Research and development: this develops tools and technology that we
use in our investigations.


Any crime can have an electronic component – drugs, homicides, national
security, sexual, burglary, fraud, anything – and e-crime can relate to any
offence. Often it’s traditional crimes coming out in different forms, but
containing electronic evidence that needs to be recovered.


Exponential increase In 2004, the Lab’s 11 analysts handled 1,150 cases, involving16,300
exhibits.


A quarter of the crimes were drug-related, 20 per cent were
sexual offences, followed by fraud (18 per cent), burglary and theft (13 per
cent) and homicide (eight per cent).


We’ve seen an exponential increase in the number of cases submitted to
the police over the years (below) – if you put the uptake of the Internet
alongside, it’s almost the same curve.

Recovering electronic evidence

Policing challenges

There are a range of challenges we face with e-crime, including:
• anonymity, global reach, and speed;
• multiple victims;
• volatility of evidence;
• widespread availability of encryption;
• capability gap among generalist staff;
• legislative framework largely based on physical world.

There’s understandably a capability gap among generalist staff. We get
100s of calls from people around the country asking for help. It’s unrealistic
– and expensive – to train everyone to have a level of understanding that
can actually deal with these sorts of investigations, so the lab serves as a
point for these complaints, or at least works as an interface.

Electronic evidence has been around since 1984 – but advancing technologies and a
proliferation of illegal activities are providing ever changing challenges for the New Zealand
Police’s Electronic Crime Laboratory (ECL), according to Maarten Kleintjes.

Legislative framework

The law is lagging behind when it comes the electronic age. I’ve been
working for years to revise:

• the searching of intangible spaces;
• remote searching;
• the existing search warrant regime;
• misconceptions and the Privacy Act (people seem obsessed about not
releasing information to the police!)

We want to be able to execute a search warrant in Cyberspace.

There are offenders who don’t have computers but store data somewhere in
Cyberspace.

If they can access it in New Zealand we should be able to
search for it legally.

Our search warrants are also for a particular address. If we go to a
defendant’s house and there’s no data there (it’s all stored somewhere
else), we have to go and get another search warrant. But by the time we
do, the person will have taken steps to erase the information.
Managing demand for services

We’re currently developing “zero skill” tools that will allow any
investigator, who can point and click a mouse and knows what they’re

looking for, to search a computer in a forensically sound way. This will let
investigators do the investigation and give the work to those who should
be doing it in the first place.

Reporting e-offending

I believe that large proportions of e-crimes, in terms of cybercrimes, are
not actually being reported to the police because people don’t know
where to go. We need a single point for reporting e-crime, developing e-
crime intelligence, co-ordinating transnational crime, and managing
internal and external relationships.

A couple of weeks ago we had three incidents occur in different parts of
the country that were reported to us. We had an overview and could see
what was happening – it came down to one ISP.

The next step is a hi-tech crime centre.
This would be a virtual operation bringing together people working from their own premises. I’d like to see this happening and I think we’re going to get there.

crime laboratory (ecl). he presented the plenary e-crime and law enforcement.

And this is how it’s done:
