Not a Texas topic, but I thought I'd point readers to a really cool use by a criminal justice blog of a Google Maps application over at the Chicago Syndicate to create the "Chicago Mob Infamous Locations Map." (See a larger version.)
That's a neat use by a blogger of free Google Map software, making me think perhaps I can find uses for the technique on Grits. A similar method could be useful, e.g., for tracking police corruption episodes on the border.

How about plotting arrests for certain types of crime. Which part of town is best to score some weed or find a ho? Use the sex offender registration to find the perverts. If those new cop cars have some sort of GPS transmitter that can be detected by civilians then a realtime map of where the police are, and are NOT!
poopyhead, you are aptly named.
To map border corruption by police, you don't need the high tech stuff. Just use your finger to trace around the border of the state starting, say, a little South of Beaumont, all the way to Brownsville, then highlight the line!
Sorry, I meant Brownsville to El Paso ! The other direction should have been Brownsville to about Jefferson, but that's a different border!
