Winter Springs boy found wandering, mom charged

by Jeff Allen

A Seminole County mother is facing charges after police say her 6-year-old son was wandering by himself a mile from home at a busy intersection.

"Yeah, 'cause I have no idea what she is saying. She's kind of slurring her words, moving around 'drunkish,' and I don't know if she's on something or drunk. She ... she's not really making a lot of sense."

Wiretap usage up 34% in 2010

by Ed Morrissey

According to the latest annual report from the federal judiciary, the number of wiretaps and intercepts approved in 2010 at state and federal levels increased 34% over 2009.

California accounted for a third of all state requests (33%), with New York accounting for almost a quarter (24%) and New Jersey getting the bronze at 11%. These three states account for 68% of all state wiretap requests. New York and New Jersey have well-known problems with organized crime, but why is California - with a population just slightly larger than New York - surpassing both by such a large amount?

Wisconsin ban on margarine targeted for repeal

by Staff

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - A quirky Wisconsin law that makes it a crime for restaurants to serve margarine at the table and not butter is being targeted for repeal.

Wisconsin banned the sale or use of margarine colored to imitate butter in 1895. That wasn't repealed until 1967, and since then the fight over margarine versus butter has largely cooled. Kooyenga says he doesn't anticipate much fervor over his proposal.

Wisconsin bill to limit use of food stamps for junk food would restrict organic foods

State Rep. Dean Kaufert said he was after things like soda and nachos when he proposed to limit how much junk food Wisconsinites could buy with food stamps.

"The list of foods that you'd be restricted from buying under this is -- I don't know who came up with it. I think it's kind of shocking," complained Rep. Fred Clark, D-Baraboo. Clark continued by saying "we're going to prevent -- or limit -- the extent to which" food stamps could be used for a long list of foods -- including organic foods.

Wisconsin Education Association Council advises teachers not to call in sick to protest in Madison

by Kathy Walsh Nufer and J.E. Espino

APPLETON -- It was to be another school day as usual for Fox Valley educators today, despite the furor in Madison over the state Legislature's action to put an end to collective bargaining.

So far, three buses will be departing Saturday morning from each of Appleton's public high schools and one bus will leave from Neenah. In recent weeks, Appleton had double its usual number of absences on one school day as teachers left to protest in Madison, and Freedom and Kimberly closed school for one day because of the large number of staff absences.

Wisconsin Police To Take DNA Samples Of Suspects Not Convicted Of Crime

by Michael Allen

A new state law in Wisconsin goes into effect on April 1 that allows police to collect DNA samples from people who have been convicted of misdemeanors, and those who are suspects, but have not been convicted of a crime.

Under current Wisconsin law, every convicted felon has to submit a sample of their DNA (via swabbing the cheek), regardless of the relevancy or non-relevancy to their conviction. That DNA has been used by Wisconsin's State Crime Lab to create a DNA profile, which is matched against a database of unsolved crimes. Now, that same databank will include misdemeanor convictions and people not convicted of crimes.

Wisconsin to share in $17 million settlement with Google over privacy

by Gitte Laasby

Consumers who browsed the web with Apple's Safari browser between 2011 and 2012 may have thought their Internet surfing wouldn't be tracked. But despite promises to the contrary, Google circumvented Safari's privacy settings and tracked consumers.

Under the settlement, Google has agreed to pay a combined $17 million in penalties to 36 states for misleading consumers. Wisconsin will get $336,000, according to a news release from Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen on Monday.

With a bit of lock, the truth will be revealed

by Liz Porter

When blood and urine tests fail, evidence often can be found concealed in a lock of hair.

Victoria Police use the tests in cases of alleged drug-facilitated sexual assault. But most of the lab's work is done for welfare authorities, family lawyers and workplaces. Child welfare authorities request the tests when investigating allegations that a child has been sedated with an illicit drug.
