Police are tapping into the so-called "black boxes" in late-model vehicles to help solve traffic crimes. In South Hampton Roads, police now have the tools and software to tap into the hidden vehicle computers for information such as drivers' speed, direction of travel and seat belt usage. "I think everyone pretty much has it," said Richard Jensen, a police officer with Norfolk's fatality team. "The technology has been around for quite some time. We have only gotten on board in the last year."...

State Attorney Barry Krischer made the startling admission in a brief filed with Florida's 4th District Court of Appeals, which is currently weighing whether Limbaugh's medical records are fair game.
