I worked with one of the Dutch CSI bigwigs, who had to go to the UK and present a new set of standards for shoeprint examination.

One of the cases we ran through (which had been solved by counting micro-cracks in the soles of culprit's size nines) was a German guy who brought his wife to the Netherlands with the express purpose of murdering her and burying her in the woods, then telling everyone back home that she had run away with a Dutch guy she had been chatting with on-line (the chatting bit was true).

For this heinous, brutal, premeditated murder, he got two years, and the CSI guy classed that as a good result -- so yes, it is pretty much legal, here*.

Try stealing EUR 50 from a bank or insurance company, though...






* So don't p1ss me off then accept an invitation to dinner.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
