[FoxNews] Video release comes as Gov. Moore and Trump clash over Maryland crime rates
Wild video released by the Prince George’s County Police Department shows what officers describe as "illegal car takeovers" that have been causing chaos in Maryland.
The aerial footage captures dozens of people standing within feet of cars spinning wildly at high speeds in places like shopping center parking lots.
The video landed amid an ongoing political battle over crime in Maryland.
Gov. Wes Moore has invited President Donald Trump to take part in a "safety walk" in Baltimore to highlight crime-reduction efforts.
Trump, meanwhile, has criticized Moore, accusing him of failing in public safety and posted on Truth Social in August that he would send in the troops.
"After only one week, there is NO CRIME AND NO MURDER IN DC! When it is like that in Baltimore, I will proudly ‘walk the streets’ with the failing, because of Crime, Governor of Maryland. P.S. Baltimore is ranked the 4th WORST CITY IN THE NATION IN CRIME & MURDER," the president wrote.
The release of the footage also came as local police charged 18-year-old Naef Salmo of Millersville in connection with a crash that seriously injured a woman during one of these types of car takeovers.
Authorities said the incident happened around 1:45 a.m. on Sept. 14 at a shopping center on the 8500 block of Landover Road.
Investigators allege Salmo was spinning his car in circles when he struck a spectator. Instead of stopping, police say, he fled the scene, leaving the victim behind.
She was hospitalized with serious injuries but has since been released. Detectives later identified Salmo and located the vehicle.

According to police, he attempted to cover his tracks by spray-painting the car a different color. When officers searched the vehicle, they discovered a handgun hidden under the hood.
Police say Salmo admitted responsibility for the hit-and-run during questioning.
Salmo now faces a slate of charges, including second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct, riot, and obstructing and hindering a police officer. Additional charges may still be filed as the investigation continues.
"We know these illegal vehicle takeovers may seem harmless to some, but the fact is, they can be dangerous," Prince George’s County Police Chief George Nader said in a statement.
"In this case, a young woman suffered serious injuries. We’ve also investigated a fatal shooting at a car takeover in recent years," he added.

It's a street rally that blocks off a street or parking lot for racing, cutting donuts etc.

So, not different than has been happening since I was a kid (or since autos were invented, whichever came first...) An activity of stupid youth, with occasional tragic results. Police should intervene, but I have to think Baltimore has bigger fish to fry.

Politicians only sponsor an item that bring them the ability to flaunt their social justice creds. A more effective pol would sponsor a location for the utes to do this in a more safe manner for the rest of the constituency. The game is to make it semi-legal/illegal so that the perps think they are getting away with something that fed their usual motivation.

[Regnum] Unrest erupted in Italy after Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni rejected Italy's recognition of Palestine. This was reported on September 22 by the Associated Press.
"Thousands of protesters and strikers calling for solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza took to the streets of Italy on Monday, some storming Milan's central train station and engaging in violent clashes with police," the publication said.
The Italian news agency ANSA, in turn, reported that as a result of the clashes, approximately 60 law enforcement officers suffered bruises and more serious injuries, and at least 12 people were arrested.
On September 21, the governments of Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada announced their recognition of Palestinian statehood. Portugal later announced a similar decision. That same day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Tel Aviv would not accept the idea of a Palestinian state.
On September 22, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov noted that Russia remains committed to the international position on resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and believes the only possible way to resolve this conflict is through recognition of both states.

Recognize a terrorist state. When their feral Moslems begin to form a separate state within France, you can make note of this most dreadful error. France officially recognizes the statehood of Palestine
France has recognized Palestinian statehood. This was announced by President Emmanuel Macron on September 22.
"I declare today France's recognition of the State of Palestine," Macron announced at a conference at UN headquarters in New York.
Speaking at the 80th UN General Assembly, the French leader clarified that he made this decision “in the interests of peace.”
Macron announced back in July that he would formally declare Palestine's recognition at the UN General Assembly, as he sees ending the war in the Gaza Strip and providing aid to civilians in the region as his top priority. He claimed this decision was justified by the opportunity to exert pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Even more from regnum.ru Netanyahu promised a harsh response to countries that recognized Palestine.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to respond to the recent recognition of Palestine by several Western countries.His adviser, Dmitry Gendelman, published the corresponding statement on his Telegram channel.
"The response to the latest attempt to impose a state of terror on us in the center of our land will be given after my return from the United States. Please wait," the message reads.
Netanyahu stated that leaders who recognize a Palestinian state are "giving terrorism a huge reward." He also emphasized that Jewish construction in the region will continue.
[FoxNews] "This protective intelligence investigation led to the discovery of more than 300 co-located SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards across multiple sites," the Secret Service said in a statement. "In addition to carrying out anonymous telephonic threats, these devices could be used to conduct a wide range of telecommunications attacks. This includes disabling cell phone towers, enabling denial of services attacks and facilitating anonymous, encrypted communication between potential threat actors and criminal enterprises. "
"While forensic examination of these devices is ongoing, early analysis indicates cellular communications between nation-state threat actors and individuals that are known to federal law enforcement"

"I find it very interesting the USSS (Sean Curran), coordinated with the Dept of Homeland Security (Kristi Noem), the Dept of Justice (Pam Bondi) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (Tulsi Gabbard) and local law enforcement. However, the USSS operation did not involve the FBI?"
NYC Field Office not involved, are there penetration/compromise issues?
A Stingray device is a type of IMSI-catcher, a cellular phone surveillance tool manufactured by Harris Corporation, initially developed for military and intelligence use before being adopted by law enforcement agencies in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
It functions as a cell-site simulator, mimicking a legitimate cell tower to force nearby mobile phones and other cellular devices to connect to it instead of the actual network.
This capability allows the device to collect identifying information such as International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) numbers and Electronic Serial Numbers (ESN), track the location of devices, and potentially intercept communications or metadata.
When operating in active mode, the StingRay broadcasts a stronger signal than nearby legitimate cell towers, exploiting the phone's programming to automatically connect to the strongest signal available.
This process can occur without the knowledge or consent of the phone user or their service provider.
The device can be mounted in vehicles, aircraft, or carried by hand (under the trade name KingFish), enabling mobile surveillance operations.
It can also be used to conduct denial-of-service attacks, force older and less secure communication protocols, and jam radio signals.
The use of Stingrays raises significant privacy and constitutional concerns. Because the device cannot distinguish between target devices and bystanders, it collects data from all phones within its range, potentially affecting hundreds of innocent individuals.
This mass data collection has led to criticism over the violation of Fourth Amendment rights, with some courts ruling that using a Stingray without a warrant constitutes an unlawful search.
Despite a 2015 Justice Department policy requiring a warrant for federal use, this guidance is not binding on state and local agencies, and many jurisdictions lack public policies governing their use.
Law enforcement agencies often use non-disclosure agreements to conceal the use of Stingrays from the public, defense attorneys, and even judges, sometimes leading to dismissed charges when the technology is revealed.
The ACLU and other advocacy groups have pushed for greater transparency and legal reform to prevent abuse.
In response, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) developed an open-source tool called Rayhunter to help detect potential Stingray activity.
The cost of a basic StingRay configuration can reach up to $400,000, with prices varying based on additional features.
The technology has been used not only for serious crimes but also for investigations into robberies and drug trafficking, raising concerns about proportionality and oversight.
While some Canadian law enforcement agencies have acknowledged their use, others remain secretive, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) having used the devices to monitor communications in correctional facilities.

[NY Post] Three Palestinians accused of "collaborating" with Israel were executed by masked Hamas terrorists in front of a cheering crowd in Gaza on Sunday.
Ghastly footage of the killings, originally posted on a Hamas-affiliated Telegram group, shows the three doomed blindfolded men kneeling on the ground in front of a trio of Hamas gunmen holding automatic weapons as a fourth loudly reads in Arabic from a piece of paper.
"Pursuant to the content of Palestinian revolutionary law and based on the Palestinian revolutionary court, a death sentence was decided against those who betrayed the homeland, betrayed their people and betrayed their cause, and put [themselves] hand-in-hand with the occupation in order to kill their own people," the terroristsaid, according to an English-language translation provided to the Telegraph by The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis.
The crowd can be heard chanting "Allahu Akbar!" — a Muslim prayer meaning "God is most great" — seemingly cheering on the brutal executions.
All three men were then shot in their heads and upper bodies, with the terrorists placing notes on their corpses reading, "Your betrayal will not pass without punishment. A harsh punishment awaits" in handwritten Arabic, the outlet said.
Hamas’ ministry of the interior called the men a "group of outlaws" who had collaborated with the Jewish state.

FYI: Jaish al-Adl, or the Army of Justice, surfaced in 2012. It mainly comprises members of the Sunni militant Jundullah group, which was weakened after Iran arrested most of its members.
The anti-Iranian group wants independence for Iran’s eastern Sistan and Pakistan’s southwestern Baluchistan provinces. These goals make it a common target for both governments.

Useful information, Mercutio, efficiently summarized. My notes from 9/18 add:
Jaish al-Adl ("Army of Justice" in Arabic, sometimes transliterated as Jaysh al-Adl) appeared in 2012 as a successor to the Salafist Balochi independence group Jundullah (Soldiers of God), which operates on both sides of the Pak-Iranian border but was based in Pakistan. The Pak branch has close relations with al-Qaeda and the Pak Talibs and is probably a false nose and mustache for Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, while the Iranian branch hangs out with Ansar Al-Furqan (Sistan-Balochistan) and Al Nusra (Syria), concentrates on attacking Iranian soldiers and police, and for some reason went after the Taliban in Afghanistan in early 2019.
