The Camera-Shy hoodie is a piece of anti-surveillance wear created by Mac Pierce that prevents a wearer’s identification from being captured by infrared cameras. It does this by strobing the cameras with 12 ultra-bright infrared LEDs.

Some dads don’t instill the best values into their kids, and this is one of them. Police are looking for a man who got his toddler to crawl up inside of a BarBerCut Lite game machine at a Salem, New Hampshire mall in order to grab some expensive prizes, including a Nintendo Switch and a Nintendo 3DS.

Some criminals don’t care if it is broad daylight, or how many people are around. They just want to steal things. And with the open concept and lack of real security at Apple Stores, I guess it doesn’t matter what time of day it is or how many people are around.

Many people are worried about the government being able to monitor whatever they are up to. Now, there is a new kind of system that will be able to surveil America’s cities from above – with incredible precision.

You’ve seen it drawn on actual crime scenes. Heck, I’m sure you’ve spotted it a couple of times on crime television shows or on related novelty products. I’m talking about the crime scene body outline where the victim’s limbs look like they’re all sprawled out in all sorts of directions.

While it isn’t quite as bad-ass as Alex Murphy, South Korea’s robot prison guard promises to uphold its prime directives: watch over prisoners and snitch to their human colleagues if needed.

South Korea is set to test some new robot prison guards in their jails by as early as next year. The idea is to free up some of the human guards for other duties.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 comes out tomorrow, but it looks like someone couldn’t wait. A band of theives stole 6,000 copies of the game, which is kinda stupid since it is about to arrive and it’s not like they can get away with selling them or giving them to 6,000 friends.

How many times have you heard of stories that involved thieves or rapists involving people you know or victims who live around your neighborhood and thought: Hey, that could’ve been me if I had gone home ten minutes later.

I remember watching an episode of CSI a few years back and worrying about how the show could be teaching criminals and would-be masterminds how to cover up their tracks properly after committing a crime. What I didn’t consider though, was how victims could also use tips and tactics from CSI to catch their assailants as well.

This is a very bizarre story. Apparently, a man named Timothy Jones Sr. from Lincoln, Mo was walking in traffic. I would hazard a guess that he was on something that affected his cognitive abilities at the time.

I can just hear the gears in sex offender Robert Nicholas McGuire’s perverted mind turning. I bet this guy thought that if he used the computers in the Apple Store in downtown San Luis Obispo that authorities would never know he was violating his parole.

Stealing is bad. Personally, I think all thieves should have their gonads stomped into a little pile of goo. Cameron Pittman should be the first recipient of said punishment to remove his DNA from the gene pool.

A group of Michigan State University researchers led by Computer Science and Engineering professor Anil Jain and doctoral student Brendan Klare are working on a program that can match mug shots of known criminals to police sketches.

There’s been a story floating around the news lately about a guy dressed as Darth Vader robbed a bank in New York. Now it turns out Darth has been seen perpetrating all sorts of nasty business in keeping with his whole “Evil Empire” thing.
