Miami Vice: We Got Our Suspect Crockett
I am sure all of you have been keeping up to date on the crazy shit in Miami. I just left a club where it was glaringly evident that we are not winning the war on drugs. As a resident it just makes you feel like you can become a Kingpin (a la Big Trouble) one day. There is now an FBI field office to investigate medicaid/medicare fraud, which Miami leads the nation in. Funny because Miami also leads the nation in mortgage fraud, home owners' insurance fraud and vehicle insurance fraud. It is tops in drug money laundering and widely assumed to be one of the top cities in drug smuggling. It is only 7th in overall crime. You think it's the same guy?

Why the police missed the Big Get-Away:
Officer accused of stealing money fired By DAVID OVALLE/ Friday, December 9, 2005 (Herald.com) A Miami-Dade police officer was arrested Thursday night in Cutler Bay after he pulled over an undercover detective during a traffic stop and stole money from him, authorities said. The officer, Jose Novoa, a five-year veteran, has been relieved of duty.
On late Thursday night, he had not been booked into the county jail system, said corrections spokeswoman Janelle Hall. Police did not specify what the charges against Novoa would be.
The department's professional compliance bureau received several compliants about Novoa, according to a news release, but it was unclear how long he had been under investigation. It is also unclear how Novoa, 30, stole the money, or whether he used his sidearm.
