• Philadelphia police recently impounded a car with a technological innovation that might just take off: a license plate equipped with a remote-control flipper, which allows a driver to foil the red-light cameras placed around the city.
Capt. John Ryan told WPVI-TV that police are capturing images of many cars with illegitimate temporary tags or otherwise disguised numbers, which puts officers in danger. "It gives us bad information.
The car might be involved in a crime." [WPVI, 7/14/2021]
• An arrest warrant was issued July 8 in Little Rock, Arkansas, for Brian Dale Reams, 32, in connection with several incidents where he allegedly approached women and asked if he could touch their feet -- with a curious twist, KATV reported.
In Conway, Arkansas, a woman said a man with no arms followed her into a Walmart last September, telling her she had pretty feet and asking if she liked having people touch them. Later he began harassing her on Facebook.
In June, a second woman said a man matching the same description (but wearing a face mask with "Brian" written on it) followed her around the same Walmart and wondered if she'd let him give her a foot massage. He apparently didn't explain how that might work.
A third woman identified Reams after viewing screenshots of his Facebook account; he approached her in a Kroger store. [KATV, 7/15/2021]
