War on drugs tools

A password breaker and portable x-ray machine are the latest weapons in the El Campo Police Department’s war on drugs Leader News reports. Criminals who carry smart phones and tablets, sometimes store data about their operations. Recent court resolutions allow authorities access to those records using a search warrant when it is determined they have probable cause. The second piece is a portable x-ray device that will be carried in the department’s drug vehicle, allowing them to x-ray compartments looking for contraband. Council approved the purchases in its last get together.
