Prosecuting Cybercrime: The Jurisdictional Problem
In this discussion, you will consider the many jurisdictional obstacles that confront investigators in their cyber crimes investigations.
For a frame of reference, consider this scenario:
Bob lives in California and decides to take a weekend trip to Las Vegas. Bob packs his suitcase and the sets off, but stops to buy marijuana while still in California.
Just after Bob crosses the border from California into Nevada, he is stopped for speeding. The police find enough marijuana to charge him with a felony.
The state of Nevada wants to prosecute Bob because he was stopped there. The state of California wants to prosecute Bob because he originally picked up the marjijuana in their state. The federal government wants to prosecute Bob becase marijuna possession and trafficking are federal offenses. Who has jurisdiction?
Using this frame of reference, consider what investigators face when they try to apprehend cyber criminals. A cyber criminal in Holland hacks a database and steals thousands of customer's data. The data theft effected U.S. citizens as well as citizens from other countries. U.S. investigators do not have jurisdiction in Holland, so they work with Interpol/Europol. This is not a fast process, so by the time they get a warrant to apprehend the cyber criminal, he's gone.
For this discussion forum, you will consider the jurisdictional problems when it comes to cyber crime. Please review the article at the link below and post your thoughts on the single most difficult hurdle when it comes to prosecuting cyber crime. Your initial post should be no less that 250 words.

Part 1Law enforcement agencies are a very attractive target when .docxbridgelandying
Part 1:
Law enforcement agencies are a very attractive target when it comes to litigation. Thus, civil liability is a concern in American policing and will continue to be. Often time civil lawsuits against police are filed when they abuse their power, are negligent, or violate the civil rights of a citizen. Police officers and administrators understand the possibility of litigation. However, the circumstances where they will be held liable is not always clear. For this reason, police administrators need to understand the law and how police practices can potentially lead to litigation. Their goal is to minimize the risk of law suits in their department as the costs of liability in policing can be astronomical.
You are a mayor of a large city. The police department in your city has several complaints filed in the past year with Internal Affairs about certain police practices. As a mayor you are concerned that these complaints may turn into lawsuits against the city that could potentially cost millions of dollars. You have never had to deal with a lawsuit against the city and its police department. You want to understand more about the nature of civil liability associated with policing. You call the police chief into your office and give him an assignment to prepare a report answering the following points:
· What are some of the more common reasons why people sue a police department?
· Can someone sue the police in a state and federal court? Explain.
· What is the harm caused when someone sues a police department?
· How can civil liability be reduced?

Part 2:
You are a Wichita Police Department detective working in the major crimes unit, and you are assigned to a joint federal–state–city crime task force working on a number of major drug cases. Over a period of several months, your task force has been able to gather information and make cases on several of the drug suppliers, drug dealers, and drug buyers in the Wichita metropolitan area. The task force is about to complete its mission by filing criminal charges in the federal district court, the state district court, or the Wichita Municipal Court against these various suspects. These suspects will not be arrested until the warrants are issued.
Your job is to make recommendations concerning which jurisdictions should file the charges on which defendants. You will need to evaluate the criminal statutes and penalties in each jurisdiction and even the rules of evidence to determine where your task force has the best chance of obtaining a conviction and in getting the punishment to fit the crime.
The memo that you receive from your Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force supervisor explains the situation:

Where do you go - when the people you’re supposed to go to when you get robbed – robs you? This is what happened
to the driver of an armored car carrying $712,000 in cash from licensed dispensaries in California. The San Bernardino
County Sheriff pulled the driver over on a Mojave Desert freeway, interrogated him and then seized the money, which
they later turned over to the FBI. This according to an article in the LA Times. (https_www.latimes.com/?

A few weeks later the driver was stopped again and yet another $350,000 was seized by the cops. Once more, this
money belonged to licensed cannabis dispensaries. According to the FBI, this money is tied to federal drug or money-
laundering crimes but have not clarified specifically the “unlawful conduct” and no one was charged with a crime. If
the FBI is successful in “confiscating the money”, they would share their spoils with the San Bernardino Police
Department.
Apparently, this isn’t the first time (https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-06-09/fbi-beverly-hills-safe-deposit-
boxes-forfeiture-cash-jewelry) that the federal law enforcement agencies in SoCal have been abusing forfeiture laws
by seizing cash and valuables from people with zero evidence of anyone committing a crime. All of this behavior has
led some people to question the Biden administration’s involvement – whether this aggressive stance from the FBI is a
low-key measure to hinder the cannabis industry. In a previous Beverly Hills raid, the FBI confiscated more than $80
million dollars in cash and goods, but were later forced to return it when they failed to produce any evidence of wrong
doing.
In other words, it seems that these federal agents are utilizing asset forfeiture laws – which indicate that property can
be seized in an active criminal investigations, even when the owner of thus said property had nothing to do with the
crime. For example, let’s say someone happened to do a drug deal on your property without your knowledge.
Technically speaking, the government would have a right to seize your house because a federal crime was committed
on the property. Even though you had nothing to do with the crime itself, your property is now “guilty” of criminal
involvement and under asset forfeiture laws; they have the legal authority to take your goods.
The company who’s trucks are being targeted – Empyreal Logistics – is requesting an emergency order to force the FBI
and the Sheriff’s Department to stop pulling over it’s vehicles and seizing cash without evidence of illegal activity.
Judge John W. Holcomb of U.S. District Court in Riverside will be dealing with that. The company is also attempting to
retrieve the money that was legally stolen from them. According to the company, they are following all of the legal

protocols and ensure that all of the dealings are with legitimate businesses. The company’s lawyer, Dan Alban said,
“This is among the more egregious forfeiture cases that we’ve ever seen” and called the seizures a “very cynical
attempt to exploit the differences between federal and state law” on marijuana.
When you take a look at the law suit the company filed, there’s a lot more deviousness to this story than you could
imagine.
In the lawsuit itself, it calls the seizures by it’s accurate name – “highway robberies”. It also accuses the Sheriff’s
department of violating California Law that protects the financial institutions that are serving cannabis dispensaries.
The company also asserts that seven out of the eight dispensaries whose cash was taken were in fact licensed.
The cops deny that they violated any laws and say that rather Empyreal is trying to impede an active criminal
investigation by seeking a court injunction. According to the Sheriff’s department, “80% of the cannabis sold in the
area came from illegal funds and the money seized were of black market origin”. Yet there was no evidence to back
these claims.
Furthermore, the company has audio recordings of the police counting out money, talking about previous seizures as
if it was a competition between who could seize the most in a single setting, an additional recording of a DEA agent
instructing law enforcement officers to “crush” every Empyreal vehicle they can identify.
All of this sounds pretty damning and as of yet, there has not been a resolution. You may be sitting there and reading
this article thinking, “how could this be legal?” After all, if this type of activity was conducted by any other entity other
than law enforcement – this would be straight up criminal. In fact, it almost resembles mob tactics.
The question is; how much does the federal government know of this or is this a regional matter? Are they specifically
targeting this one company or is there a larger operation afoot? As of now, none of the law enforcement agency has
presented any real evidence to support their claim. It seems we need to blindly “trust them” from not being corrupt
and bending laws to suit their personal financial gains.
If all of this isn’t sitting too well with you be of good faith, that means you’re human. These archaic drug laws have
been used for far too long to exploit the legal system and to legally steal goods from people who in many cases have
no ties to crime whatsoever. While we might see people be highly vocal on many issues on social media, the legal
theft of American Goods by the federal government and local law enforcement is something I’d like politicians to talk
about. Real things that affect real people.

Where do you go to when the people who’s supposed to enforce the law are bending it to their own needs? It seems
