The New York police unit featured in the long-running TV hit ‘Law and Order’ is under investigation for failing victims, with one told she “might want to date” her attacker. Allegations against the Special Victims Division of “shaming”, “abusing” and “re-traumatising” survivors are currently being assessed by the Department of Justice - a move insiders say is the first of Joe Biden’s administration. “The Department received information alleging deficiencies at SVD that have persisted for more than a decade, depriving survivors and the public of the prompt, thorough, and effective investigations needed to protect public safety,” officials said. The revelation follows a letter signed by 19 survivors sent to the Justice Department requesting an investigation into the unit’s methods last year. In the letter, survivors claimed that cases were dealt with by inexperienced and unsympathetic officers who neglected to gather CCTV footage or interview relevant witnesses, according to the … [Read more...] about New York’s ‘Law and Order’ police unit investigated for rape failings

Residents of New Mexico will start receiving their newest round of tax rebate checks as early as next week in a state effort to offset the impact of rising U.S. prices. The state's Legislature and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham approved rounds of rebates and economic relief this year, according to the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department.

A new update to Pokemon Go has broken many of the app’s most useful features – including the ability to find Pokemon. The controversial update has removed a whole host of the apps most popular features, including the tool that told people how near Pokemon were and breaking the app so that people lose their progress. But perhaps the most lasting could be the developers’ decision to cut off access to the game for third party apps like Pokevision. Those tools catalogued where Pokemon were in the real world, so that people could head to specific locations to find the animals they wanted, and could be alerted when they were nearby. When the update was installed, those apps lost access to the game and so can no longer work. That leaves people with no way of finding the Pokemon they’re looking for, since the “step counter” feature was removed at the same time.
