Do other cities have this "person of interest" terminology?
I'm pretty sure yes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My eyeballs feel like sandpaper. I couldn't sleep, so now I'm all woozy. Stoopid daylight savings. Want to call in and go back to bed. Hate job.

tommyrot, I'm pretty sure they used that terminology around the guys they ended up arresting for the Boston litebrite scare.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I seems to me to be a fairly recent term. I wonder if it's related to that guy (Jewel?) who was a suspect in the Olympic bombing thing - his name was all over the press (they kinda' presumed him guilty) and it turned out he didn't do it and he sued a TV network and got a bunch of money.

I try not to do that at work. Makes it difficult to get references.
What I have acquired instead is an order from my supervisor Not To Open The Door, so I am going to drink my coffee and Buff Dive for a while, and listen to my iPod while people knock-knock-knock fruitlessly on the door.

Is it freaky warm everywhere, or is the Weather Channel fucking with me?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There can be pretty much any kind of weather in March, so I don't know how any of it can be categorized as "freaky".

From Jesse's link:
Normal Justice Department parlance for subjects of investigation includes "suspect," "subject" and "target." Each has specific meanings relevant to different levels of investigation.

“there is no ... formal definition for the term ‘person of interest’”
Huh. Maybe the police say that when they just want to be vague....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
60 Minutes had a whole thing last night about the named "person of interest" in the anthrax scare. It's common law enforcement CYA.
