On Combatting Mail Fraud
Taping: Thursday, September 15, 2016
Hello. I want to take a moment to speak with you today about a significant type of fraud targeting Americans – especially our seniors and other vulnerable citizens. Each year, tens of millions of letters are sent to Americans falsely claiming that the recipient has won cash or valuable prizes. In order to collect these benefits, the letters say, the recipient need only send in a small amount of money for a processing fee or taxes.
These offers are a fraud, but they are not as easy to recognize as you might think. The letters appear to come from legitimate sources, typically on official-looking letterhead personally addressed to the recipient. As a result, every year hundreds of thousands of Americans believe these letters to be genuine and send in money. And as soon as someone has fallen for the trick once, his or her name will be add...

- Description
- The Justice Department announced today that it found reasonable cause to believe that the Baltimore City Police Department (BPD) engages in a pattern or practice of conduct that violates the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution as well as federal anti-discrimination laws. BPD makes stops, searches and arrests without the required justification; uses enforcement strategies that unlawfully subject African Americans to disproportionate rates of stops, searches and arrests; uses excessive force; and retaliates against individuals for their constitutionally-protected expression. The pattern or practice results from systemic deficiencies that have persisted within BPD for many years and has exacerbated community distrust of the police, particularly in the African-American community. The city and the department have also entered into an agreement in principle to work together, with community input, to create a federal court-enforceable consent decree addressing the deficiencies ...
