TORONTO
(CP) _ The anonymity and versatility of the Internet has made it an
ideal breeding ground for fringe groups to thrive, and police say
monitoring the criminal activity that such groups can engage in is
harder now than ever before.
As an undercover officer in charge of tracking child pornography online,
Det. Const. Scott Purches finds his job has become much more challenging
as a result of wireless technology and sophisticated criminals.
"Wireless is posing the next big challenge on the horizon," said the
Toronto police detective. "If you think about all the different ways
that we have to connect to the Internet, it's opening up a whole new
realm for us."
The shift toward wireless networks means police are losing one of their
key methods of tracking online criminals, since Internet service
providers are no longer a reliable indicator of a person's location.
