Oh no, not another newsgroup! Will there ever be enough
traffic to justify it?

Crime news that would be truly _useful_ information would
require systematic reporting by people with access to police
databases. Did anybody see that Sunday Outlook piece by the
Post reporter about how they have to file a Freedom of
Information request for even the most mundane data from the
District government? So...lotsa luck.

Crime reporting by individuals posting here is necessarily
anecdotal and random, and why set up a separate forum for that?
