"Police call 26,000 to find hit-run car; Use alert system in Somerville hunt" by Maddie Hanna, Globe Correspondent | July 18, 2008
Police have called 26,000 phone numbers in Somerville through an automatic notification system, searching for the driver of a blue BMW that struck and seriously injured a 9-year-old girl last weekend.
After striking the child, the car continued traveling east on Highland Avenue, Upton said.
Police based the color and variety of car believed to have hit the girl on a piece of molding found at the scene, as well as information from a witness, who was not named. The witness did not get a license plate number, Upton said.
Police decided to use the electronic notification system to call all the city's listed numbers and reach as many people as possible, Upton said. Of the 26,000 numbers the electronic system dialed Wednesday, 16,000 were either answered live or directed to an answering machine, Upton said.
As with the tasers, these guys are just getting lazier and lazier!
That's what a fascist police state brings out in cops.
The downside is that it might tip off the person who struck the child, Upton said. Police decided the benefits outweighed the risk, he said."
I'm not going to answer my phone anymore, no matter who it is!
