Well, well. I’m late to this party:
The Michigan State Police have a high-tech mobile forensics device that can be used to extract information from cell phones belonging to motorists stopped for minor traffic violations.

My daughter is ready for Angela Floyd’s Spring Concert at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium. About 400 dancers put on impressive performances to a packed house of family, friends and fans.
We got married here 11 years ago today. Two rather amazing factoids: I was sober for the ceremony and after 11 years she hasn’t killed me. Thank you, darling. I love you!
UPDATE: No, I don’t have to explain why our wedding week included the Mexican police with AK-47s. It wasn’t my idea.
