Florida Detectives Use Skype to Obtain Warrants-Fox News
In Palm Bay, Florida, detectives have turned to the technology of Skype to obtain warrants for DUI cases. Skype was originally used to make voice calls and chats over the Internet. The advantage is all the calls are free from computer to computer. It's interesting that the program has helped detectives in cases. The officers would use Skype to quickly obtain warrants and send the document to judges. Instead of traditionally waiting for evidence to send to a judge, then waiting for the judge to grant a warrant, this has made that process faster. This also helps officers get warrants to draw blood from suspects in DUI cases. After sending emails to the judge, they can also hold conference calls via Skype afterwards. "They say the technology can be expanded to other types of crime." If that is true, technology would aid in helping keep the public safe from drunk drivers, and hopefully over time, other crimes. Skype is a simple way to communicate, and creatively turned into a "virtual office and courtroom."
