Two of the Houston area's top cops chimed in on the news of a teenager who bonded out after allegedly shooting at a deputy — only to be pegged for four armed robberies months later.
Daniel Hoskins was charged with aggravated assault on a peace officer after allegedly shooting at a Harris County Sheriff's Office deputy in January, court records show. Hoskins, 17, was released on a $75,000 bond on March 6. Then, on April 17 — while on bond for the aggravated assault on a peace officer charge — deputies arrested him again, accusing him of having a hand in four armed robberies in a matter of hours earlier that day.

 Are we heading towards a de facto national DNA database to solve crimes? Will our future include a federal law requiring all U.S. residents to provide law enforcement with their DNA profile or volunteer genetic profiles to solve a crime? That future may not be too far away, because some agencies have used DNA information from third-party sites since April 2018. Since that time, DNA searches in consumer genetics databases have allowed law enforcement to make three dozen arrests. These arrests were made with the help of genetic matches between crime scene DNA samples and the genetic profiles shared on consumer platforms.

The three-man team made its way down the hallway walking fast, but not running. The point man was armed with an H&K MP5. He had it shouldered and was searching forward over the weapon sights, the gun tracking with his eyes like a tank turret following a weaponeer's visual targeting system. The flank officers were armed with handguns, each calling out information about doorways and hallways as they were approached and passed. Shots were heard down the hallway in front of the team and they picked up their pace. Shouting could be heard as well; screams that were a mix of incoherence and clear communications. "No, Johnny!" "Don't do that!" "Put that down!" As the team approached the doorway they could hear sounds of a struggle, what sounded like a fist on flesh, harsh words and then relative silence.

As crime gets more sophisticated, complex crime-fighting technology is picking up the pace as well. Machine and AI tools are quickly being incorporated into the mix as new weapons in the fight against crime.
For example, scientists at the University of Leon in northwest Spain are working with INCIBE, the Spanish National Cybersecurity Institute, to develop a new AI tool for law enforcement work. The new evidence-recognizing tool uses artificial intelligence to identify objects in photographs taken by forensic teams and also searches for links with other crimes.

Throughout the centuries, soldiers and warriors have looked for better and better ways to fend off attacks and keep themselves safe from deadly weapons. From knights in shining armor to Japanese Shogun warriors, personal protection has always been a priority of those going into battle. Leather, chainmail and steel were the primary materials in armor, with conventional thinking falling on the idea that the harder the material the better the protection. Swords and knives were the most common weapon of choice. Now that bladed combat is no longer as common today and bullets are the biggest threat.
