"Police setting up database on gangs; Officers to share reports statewide; System will rate criminal activity" by Jay Atkinson, Globe Correspondent | November 30, 2008
.... Law enforcement investigators across the Commonwealth are soon going to have a new tool to help investigate such incidents. In early January, the Criminal History Systems Board, a state agency responsible for the law enforcement telecommunications network, plans to launch MassGangs, a database that will store information on violent street criminals by describing such factors as associates, criminal history, and tattoos that indicate gang affiliation.
This intelligence system, funded by a $1.2 million Department of Justice grant, will allow investigators to share gang-related information in "real time," adding new data to a gang member's history as it becomes available....
And you know who populates most gangs, readers? ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!! It is interesting that in this article, the Globe focuses on ASIAN GANGS -- neglecting the Mexican drug-running enterprises.
And why wouldn't they? We all know that illegal drugs are the way the power elite hid ill-gotten gains to use for off-the-budget black-ops and personal enrichment!

"Gangs have risen to the number two problem after drugs in the social order," said Lieutenant John Goodwin, 46, gang unit supervisor for the Revere Police Department....
Time to take the DRUGS OUT of our IMMIGRATION WARS!!
Investigators from the State Police, FBI, local police departments, and several other agencies participated in the development of MassGangs, according to Wood. Investigators will use hand-held devices and facial recognition software to gather and record information, he said.
And HOW LONG until the technology is applied to EVERYONE?! That's how it works: they get spying powers to spy on terrorists, and the next thing you know, they are spying on YOU! But the TOTALITARIANISM is always for YOUR OWN GOOD!

Maybe if we LEGALIZED the DRUGS and SEALED the BORDER we could KILL TWO BIRDS with ONE STONE, huh? Which is why it DOESN'T HAPPEN!
