LA Cops get Wi-Fi Drive By Access
An anonymous reader writes "
A PC World.com article: "the Los Angeles Police Department plans to install 27 wireless local area networks (WLANs) at police stations throughout the city in the next three months, according to Roger Ham, deputy chief for communications at the LAPD.
Ham says he plans to equip police cars with handheld computers from Symbol Technologies. The handheld devices will be equipped with 802.11b WLAN cards that communicate in the unlicensed 2.4-GHz band with access points installed in police stations at a raw data rate of 11 megabits per second-far faster than the 19.2-kilobits-per-second throughput in the department's 800-MHz wide area network (WAN) installed by Motorola two years ago and covering the city.
Will Strauss, an analyst at Forward Concepts, called Ham's plan "a cheap way to get bandwidth" that would allow LAPD units to periodically pick up high-bandwidth data as they pass by police stations equipped with WLAN systems."
Interesting. Will the use WiFi increase LAPD's capability for police brutality to new level?
police brutality!
Insightful: +5 ;-)
I admit that I simply had a stick up my ass. The US/UK/Australian coalition was right all along! I am deploying the intimidating French army to Iraq to help free those poor people.

Fuck tha police, Comin straight from the underground.
Young nigga got it bad cuz I'm brown,
And not the other color so police think,
They have the authority to kill a minority.
Fuck that shit, cuz I ain't tha one,
For a punk mutha fucka with a badge and a gun,
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail.
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell.
Fuckin with me cuz I'm a teenager,
With a little bit of gold and a pager.
Searchin my car, lookin for the product.
Thinkin every nigga is sellin narcotics.
You'd rather see me in the pen,
Then me and Lorenzo chilling in the Benzo.
Beat tha police outta shape,
And when I'm finished, bring the yellow tape,
To mark off the scene of the slaughter. No controller, bread and water.
A young nigga on a warpath, And when I'm finished, it's gonna be a bloodbath, Of cops, dyin in L. A.

Whatever dumb nigger modded it as off-topic is obviously a fucking loser who was probably just a hard-on in his father's pants when NWA was breaking new ground with their inspirational sound. Fuck you people for being such stupid jackasses who are painfully unaware of most of history, art, culture, etc. You know, I know more about "technology" than most of you but I also am a great writer, a fine historian, and I enjoy hobbies that don't involve the use of electricity. Fuck you douchebags.
