I wouldn't worry about laws like this to much.  There are a number of 
organizations working with states to educate law makers, and prevent PI laws 
from being written.  They are having success in a number of states.  And 
well...the states like Texas that already have them will eventually be self 
correcting.  As it stands right now, you are required to be a PI in order to 
issue a ticket based on running a red light equipped with a camera. (Digital 
photograph)  And yes, that was an actual court order.  Stupid laws tend to have 
stupid consequences, and lawmakers get educated real quick.

  I think I've pretty much made up my mind that I want to work for a while 
before pursuing my BS, but I do feel that I want to accomplish a 4 year degree. 
Right now I'm seriously burnt out on school!

  I don't want to go in the computer forensics arena though, I'm leaning 
towards computer security, intrusion detection/prevention, data recovery. All 
my life fixing things and working in customer service has always been my 
passion. No matter where I worked I always ended up fixing things for my 
employer lol.

  It's been since November 14th 2003 that I could work a 40 hour week, I'm 
ready to give it a try after all this time.

  You guys be careful though. Idiot politicians are passing a lot of crazy 
laws. Some of which, in some states, make doing what we do a felony. Watch this 
video, it'll scare the daylights out of you:
  Forensics is for Private Investigators Only
  "Each state has been trying to pass laws to prevent computer forensic people 
from doing their jobs without having a Private Investigator License. Some 
states have already made it a felony like Michigan. This is not about Private 
Investigators enhancing their skills, because this does not change any 
requirements for a PI to do computer forensics. It only changes YOUR job as a 
computer forensic specialist by making you work for a PI for two or three 
years. Your requirements and cost are the only changes." 
  In Texas, even Geek Squad for Best Buy was sent a "cease and desist" letter 
preventing them from doing any data recovery.

  P.S. Seriously, watch the video, it's going to impact all of us eventually.

    Hi Megan,
    Wow, you have your AA in Criminal Justice already?  It doesn't seem like 
it's been that long.  Where are you going to get your degree in Sociology?  I 
don't know where I'm going to work yet - maybe one of the new government jobs - 
something will come up - it always does.  Take care and keep in touch. Kay

      Thanks guys! I've missed you guys as well. It's so weird not seeing 
everyone. That is so awesome that you are going for that. What kind of job are 
you hoping to get? Right now I'm still working and living in Frederick. I went 
on for another degree in Criminal Justice and now I'm working toward my 
Bachelor's degree in Sociology with a Criminal Justice concentration. I'm 
hoping to mix together all of my degrees and work in some type of 
investigations. I honestly can't get enough of schooling right now, it's 
different!

      Hi Megan,

      I too have missed you very much.  What are you doing these days?  I am 
going for my BS at Strayer in Rockville.  I really like the curriculum and they 
took my credits from Kaplan - double positive.

        Congrats Reed on your upcoming graduation.  I am still in school going 
for my BS in homeland security so I can't help you with a externship site.  
Best of luck in your future.

        Kay :-)

          Hey guys! How have you all been doing out there in the land of the 
working?
          I'm FINALLY ready to start my externship in the next quarter, April 
15-June 15.
          Do any of you have any extern site leads that I may be able to pursue?
          Any help would be greatly appreciated.
          I'm so glad to finally be nearing graduation. My only class next 
quarter is Computer Security on Monday and Wednesday nights, lets say 3:30pm to 
10:30 pm. 
          Other than that I'm flexible for any hours and any distance to 
commute to an extern site.

          Thanks everyone in advance!
