WICCANS ARE EVIL AND ATHEISTS ARE EVIL

Grandfather Spent Three Days Lost on Highway in England



A grandfather who fell victim to the airport snow chaos after dropping his wife off at Gatwick airport spent three days lost on the M4 trying to find his way back to Wiltshire. The 72-year-old man was eventually found on Christmas Day, still at the wheel of his Peugeot 307, when he triggered a police camera and was flagged down by officers. Disorientated Mohammed Bellazrak spent three days trying to find his way home to Wiltshire from Gatwick Airport, while his worried family reported him missing to the police. Police in Wiltshire asked colleagues in neighbouring forces to keep an eye open for the Moroccan-born motorist, after he vanished on December 23. CCTV footage showed him leaving Gatwick airport at 8pm on Thursday but there the trail ran cold.

That was until officers in the Thames Valley fed his car details into the police automatic number plate recognition computer. They discovered cameras had recorded the OAP driving around in numerous towns in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Sergeant Jo Spencer, who led the hunt for the missing pensioner, took up the story. "It appears that Mrs Bellazrak was deposited safely at Gatwick by her husband and she flew off on holiday, unaware of the drama involving her husband which was to follow. Mr Bellazrak was seen on a CCTV camera leaving Gatwick at about 8pm on December 23, presumably to drive home to Trowbridge, a journey which should have taken a couple of hours.



"However, he didn't arrive and his anxious relatives eventually called the police when they realised he had disappeared. They were worried he might have had an accident or something like that," said Sgt. Spencer. "We contacted other forces with no success and then asked for the ANPR systems to be activated to see if anyone spotted the number plate CF53 BHE, the car in which Mr Bellazrak was known to have been when he left Gatwick for the 70 mile journey home. We were surprised to discover that ANPR cameras had recorded him in Bracknell, Wokingham, Burnham and High Wycombe - all presumably attempts at finding his way from Gatwick to Wiltshire. The last ANPR 'hit' we had showed him at about 6pm on Christmas eve in Hiugh Wycombe but then the trail went cold again," she added. We put out press appeals hoping that local radio stations might broadcast details of his car and that someone would come forward to say where he was."

However, no-one came forward and fears for the OAP's safety increased. Mr Bellazrak's ordeal finally ended at 2pm on Christmas Day when his car number plate activated an ANPR camera in a Thames Valley Police patrol car in Abingdon Road, Oxford - and this time officers were able to flag him down. "He was taken to Oxford police station to await the arrival of relatives who drove him safely back home," said Sgt. Spencer. "It is an amazing but very sad story and we are very pleased that it had a happy ending on Christmas afternoon. Goodness knows how much petrol he must have got through and how many miles he travelled in his quest to find the way home. We will be speaking to Mr Bellazrak when he has had a good rest, to see what happened and whether he drove all night or stopped to sleep somewhere."

Is reading wife's e-mail a crime?

Leon Walker of Rochester Hills is charged with unlawfully reading his then-wife's e-mail, which showed she was having an affair with her second husband, who once had been arrested for beating her in front of her son. Walker says he gave the e-mails to her first husband, the child's father, to protect the boy. "I was doing what I had to do," he said


A Michigan man faces up to 5 years in prison -- for reading his wife's e-mail.

Oakland County prosecutors, relying on a Michigan statute typically used to prosecute crimes such as identity theft or stealing trade secrets, have charged Leon Walker, 33, with a felony after he logged onto a laptop in the home he shared with his wife, Clara Walker.

Using her password, he accessed her Gmail account and learned she was having an affair. He now is facing a Feb. 7 trial. She filed for divorce, which was finalized earlier this month.

Legal experts say it's the first time the statute has been used in a domestic case, and it might be hard to prove

"It's going to be interesting because there are no clear legal answers here," said Frederick Lane, a Vermont attorney and nationally recognized expert who has published five books on electronic privacy. The fact that the two still were living together, and that Leon Walker had routine access to the computer, may help him, Lane said.

"I would guess there is enough gray area to suggest that she could not have an absolute expectation of privacy," he said.

About 45% of divorce cases involve some snooping -- and gathering -- of e-mail, Facebook and other online material, Lane said. But he added that those are generally used by the warring parties for civil reasons -- not for criminal prosecution.

$450,000 in drugs found on man passed out in taxi



A frustrated cabdriver unwittingly delivered a man carrying a bag that was allegedly filled with nearly a half-million dollars in drugs to officers at the Rogers Park District police station over the weekend.

The driver, who asked not to be named, said he picked up a fare in the Lincoln Park neighborhood on Saturday afternoon and took the man to an address in Rogers Park.

The passenger, later identified by police as Joseph Andrew Hoffman, 25, chatted on his phone for about half the trip but was unconscious by the time they arrived at the destination, the cabdriver said.

The cabdriver said he tried to rouse the man for about 10 minutes before driving to the police station. Police searched the man's bag and found bottles of a "clear, crystalline substance" connected by wires to a "power source," which together apparently amounted to a miniature methamphetamine lab, according to a police report.

The street value of the drugs in the man's bag was nearly $450,000, the police report said.

Hoffman, of Vancouver, Wash., was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Evanston. Police said he consented to a search of a residence in the 800 block of West Dakin Street, where officers found a gallon jug filled with suspected GHB, the so-called date rape drug; small bags of marijuana; $1,401 in cash; and other drug paraphernalia, the report said.

Hoffman was charged with six felony counts and on Sunday was ordered held on $100,000 bail by a Cook County judge.

The cab that brought Hoffman to police was searched by a Chicago Fire Department hazardous materials team. Police didn't tell him what they had found on the passenger when they returned the car, the cabbie said.

"They said they found a lot of bad stuff. My only concern was to collect my fare," the cabdriver said Sunday. "It was going on and on, and I didn't even get my full fare."
