LOS ANGELES (KNX 1070 NEWSRADIO) -- Criminal gangs are getting more tech-savvy every day... and state lawmakers will hold a hearing today in Ontario, to discuss the problem and ways to deal with it. Assembly majority leader Alberto Torrico says gang members both in and out of prison are making more use of cellphones and social networking websites to carry out crimes... and law-enforcement needs to be able to keep-up.
This morning's hearing has been given the tech-appropriate title of Gangs 2.0: The Emerging Threat of Cyberthugs.
