What problems do wireless networks pose for investigators? How can they be overcome?
What will be an ideal response?
One can hardly drive around with a wireless capable laptop computer without noting the presence of dozens, if not hundreds, of open wireless networks. For example many popular coffee shops are also "Internet cafes" where users can use a wide open wireless network to connect to the Internet to browse websites, check email, or perform just about any other Internet task. Any online communication traced will lead back to the Internet café as their router assigned temporary IP addresses to the suspect user's computer. These businesses will generally not keep track of who their network users are. The problem with not securing one's personal wireless router is that any illegal Internet activity performed by someone connected to that network may be traced back to the router owner, not the true criminal who used the connection while passing by. In some cases, only good old fashioned police work, such as canvassing a neighborhood for descriptions and license plates of suspicious vehicles seen in the area will give investigators leads as to the suspect's identity. In an effort to combat this anonymity, and the potential safe haven it offers computer criminals, some cities have recently taken the extraordinary step of requiring businesses to secure their networks.

Judges are appointed by executives, elected by the voters, or appointed through a merit selection process. The various selection systems produce judges with very similar backgrounds, including local ties and past political involvement. No evidence exists that one selection system systematically produces "better" or "worse" judges than another, although research does reveal some differences in
judicial approaches to decision making. Describe the system you believe is best and provide support for your argument. What will be an ideal response?
