Arizona Judge Tells Sheriff "Reveal Password Or Face Contempt" 624
An anonymous reader writes "Four days ago, deputies from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Arizona conducted a raid against the county government building hosting computers for a law enforcement database. After threatening to arrest county employees who would stop them, the officers proceeded to secure the room and promptly changed passwords on many of the servers. In a hearing on Friday, a Superior Court judge threatened to hold members of the Sheriff's Office in contempt if they did not reveal the passwords by next Wednesday. Following this, the Sheriff's Office claimed to be conducting an investigation against other Superior Court judges. Courts have asked for passwords before, but never under conditions like this."

After checking the definition of 'insight', I decided you were off your rocker.
After considering the full meaning of "most of [the] people here", I changed my mind again. When dealing with the majority of Slashdot, useful definitions for words have pretty much no place in the proceedings :)

So, what you're proposing is, because Nicolas Cage made multiple movies, Joe Arpaio's methodologies on running a correctional facility are a failure?
Sir, you make a compelling case. I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Here we have at Tucker what is called the "hoe squad" and it is what it sounds like. You get your ass up at dawn and hoe and weed
Sorry, but that is definitely not what "Hoe Squad" sounds like at all.

Such a bitter sounding young man. One might suspect that he was a guest of Joe's tent city. Perhaps he doesn't understand the service Joe did for him. Look, the guy finished his GED, he's literate, and posts on /. ! I would say Joe did him a lot of good!!
Every county needs a sheriff like Maricopa county has. I speak as the parent of a young man who needs Joe in his life. More liberal pussy type sheriffs worry about a criminal's rights, and fail to make an impression on the youngsters lodged in their jail houses. For that reason, those same youngsters are lodged again, and again, and again, until finally, they graduate to the state prison system.
Oh well - the system works fine, if the purpose of the "criminal justice" system is to fill prison cells, and make prosecuting attorney twats look good, with high conviction rates. No need to fix a system that works so well, right?
