I find it strange no one is concerned that there are 60,000 wanted persons in Durham....or is this just old news to Durham residents? Maybe most were pleasantly surprised and find the number lower than they would have expected.
As a NC resident that has to negotiate Durham on a weekly basis, I'm disgusted.
Even more bizarre is the attention and resources spent on a bunch of innocent kids at Duke with this kind of problem already long present.

Perhaps one should re-read the Original Post and the linked news story and use some analytical processes before assuming there are 60,000 wanted persons in Durham.
Just perhaps....

You need to re-read the article. It said "60,000 warrants," not 60,000 people. Multiple warrants can be issued on the same person. And some of those warrants date back to the 1970s.
I found the article useful to the fact that records can be organized and stored better with the use of technology. More than anything, it looks as if the Durham County Police Department is looking to streamline its databases. Of course, this transition takes money, which counties are short of these days.
I would be interested to know if any of the money that helped create this new system is coming from the national economic stimulus package.

You refute nothing and try to divert attention from a serious problem by trying to discredit me?????? You all know perfectly well I'm not "charleton"---and even if I was it still does not change the facts! And no I would imagine the number is lower than 60,000 now as they have fled into surrounding communties to escape arrest.

Oh, now you are venturing into being accused of having "common sense."

No, we don't know that at all.
