FBI turns off thousands of GPS devices after Supreme Court ruling
The Supreme Court's recent ruling overturning the warrantless use of GPS tracking devices has caused a "sea change" inside the U.S. Justice Department, according to FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann. Mr. Weissmann, speaking at a University of San Francisco conference called "Big Brother in the 21st Century" on Friday, said that the court ruling prompted the FBI to turn off about 3,000 GPS tracking devices that were in use.

Young killers serving life without parole may get chance at freedom
The Supreme Court, in a case involving two 14-year-olds, will hear oral arguments March 20, in two cases involving 14-year-olds, on whether it is unconstitutional cruel and unusual punishment to put young juvenile murderers in prison without hope of release.The justices have been moving toward greater protection for minors. They abolished the death penalty for juveniles in 2005, and in 2010 ruled out life sentences without parole for them except in cases of homicide.

Internet on cell phones to orchestrate crimes
More than 700 million people use Facebook - among them are some of California's most-hardened prisoners. "For the guys that we catch, it's one of the most popular things they use in here," said Sgt. Anthony Roman of the increasing number of inmates getting caught with cells phones. Under state law, prisoners are forbidden to use mobile phones. CBS2's Jeff Nguyen recently visited the California Rehabilitation Center in Norco and Chino State Prison to see how inmates are accessing the internet and social networking sites from cell phones.

New rules on when FBI retains custody of detainees
The Obama administration outlined on Tuesday the situations in which the FBI, rather than the military, could be allowed to retain custody of Al Qaeda terrorist suspects who are not U.S. citizens but are arrested by federal law enforcement officers. The new rules issued by the White House resulted from a December compromise in Congress between the administration and a majority of Republicans and some Democrats who wanted a bigger military role and a reduced role for civilian courts in the fight against terrorism.

In California prisons, 301 lifers from juvenile crimes
As lawmakers consider loosening life sentences for juvenile criminals, a new report released Wednesday said 301 California inmates are locked up for life after committing crimes when they were younger than 18. That's nearly 12% of all 2,570 youth offenders serving sentences of life without parole in the country. Although sentences of life without parole are limited to homicide cases, the report said nearly half of the juveniles did not commit the actual murder.
