Personal information includes your social security number, bank information, or SNAP electronic benefits transfer card or PIN number. If you think the text is a scam, do not reply at all. Just delete.COVID-19 Potential Fraud Scam Alert, 3/24/2020Please be aware that unscrupulous individuals may use COVID-19 as an opportunity to create a scam in order to steal your personal information. FNS has already received at least one report of a potential scam targeting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants. While many organizations are seeking to help communities respond to COVID-19, please be careful with any unknown individual or organization that requests your confidential information. Examples of confidential information include your social security number, bank information, or your SNAP EBT card or PIN number. If you are unsure if a request for information is legitimate, please contact your local SNAP office. If you do not know your local SNAP office, you can find your state's contact information at https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/state-directory. If you believe you are the victim of identity theft, contact your local police department regarding procedures for filing a report. You may also file a consumer complaint online with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at https://consumer.ftc.gov/scams. FTC is the federal agency responsible for protecting consumers from identity theft scams.2018Spammers Sending Unsolicited Text Messages Referencing Food Stamps, 4/4/2018In Minnesota, there have been reports of text messages referencing “food stamps” that offer work-at-home opportunities. Be aware that these types of unsolicited text messages are not just spam. They are likely scams. Here is some helpful information about text message spam:Report concerns to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). They are the federal authority which handles text message spam.AARP also advises on how to handle text message spam. Sometimes the scam is to get you to respond, confirming your number is live. Once confirmed, the scammer submits unauthorized charges to your cell bill. Therefore, do not “opt out” or “unsubscribe.”

But usually, there can be trial by jury in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. (2) To deal fairly and equally with all concerned. This implies not only a fair or just decision based on the law, but also a judgment guided by common-sense ideas of fairness and justice.
equity: A system of law that supplements the statutory and case law and is based on principles of what is "fair and right."

Cargo Theft Interdiction Program
 
 

In response to concerns from the California Trucking Association (CTA) over this rising problem, Assembly Bill 1683 was enacted. This legislation created funding for the enhancement of cargo theft enforcement statewide, and designated the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to coordinate and implement the program. 


	  

Statewide Problem Analysis
 
It is known, that on a regional level, the incidence of cargo theft is increasing. However, the overall scope of the problem statewide and the specific regions where cargo theft related crime is the greatest have been difficult to accurately determine. This is due to the nature of the commodity that is being stolen, (it is handled by many parties during transportation and distribution) and the inconsistent reporting procedures utilized by both the public and private sectors. To ensure the limited resources that are available for implementation of this program are utilized in the most efficient way, the CHP gathered detailed information concerning the rate, type and value of cargo being stolen statewide. 
In California three regions were identified statistically as suffering the most significant impact from cargo theft related crime. They include Los Angeles / Inland Empire, the San Francisco Bay Area, and San Diego. Each of the identified regions is a complex distribution center with major harbors, airports, and rail systems, handling millions of cargo containers and commodities annually. Additionally, within each of the identified regions exists thousands of commercial businesses that ship and receive billions of dollars of merchandise routinely by way of major freeway networks.
With the growing number of cargo thefts statewide, an alliance has been established between law enforcement and private industry to maintain open lines of communication. Organizations such as the Western States Cargo Theft Association, American Trucking Association, CTA and National Cargo and Security Council Transportation company security directors and law enforcement personnel, meet on a monthly basis to discuss recent trends, losses, suspects, and active investigations. This type of partnership is the foundation of successful cargo theft enforcement. 

​Regional Operation Teams In a state as large and diverse as California, each geographic region is unique as to the extent and type of problem being experienced. In some areas, efforts are already ongoing to address the cargo theft problem. In others, virtually nothing is being done in any coordinated manner.
