====== UUCPA Criminal Justice Group ======


This will become the home page for the wiki.
It will be mostly used for navigation \\ 

The idea of the wiki is that every group member can edit the information.  However, most pages can be viewed by everybody.

There is lots of social web stuff, here some guidance what to use:  \\ 
  * Use the **wiki** for information entered by group members.  Such information stays on the page, readable by everybody, until it is deleted. 
  * Use the **[[http://lists.uucpa.org/mailman/listinfo/criminal-justice|mailman-list]]** for events and notifications.  Use that for information which is used once.
  * I think there is a **facebook page**.  That of course is like a facebook page and requires the owner for publications.

**DMV steals identity:** \\ 
An article in the Guardian.  Not only the big things suck; the small things don't seem to work either.

//A woman apparently using my name meant a nightmare of unpaid traffic fines and a criminal record. But when I tracked her down, a different story emerged
