CH> Kirk, Sunnyvale is a bitch to get a CCW in. If you're planning on CH> moving, you might want to make it to un-incorporated SC County, stay CH> away from San Jose, might want to try Campbell, Morgan Hill, Gilroy CH> ..most others will make it a pain for you to get a permit. CH> Like I said, get a Mail Drop #1 !!! CH> /// Oh ya, and shred ANYTHING about your new address, the case, etc, or CH> take your garbage to work and dump it. "dumpster diving for fun and CH> profit" is more widespread than you think. CH> ///IMPORTANT POINT //// your outbound AND inbound telephone company CH> records are FAIR GAME, when looking for a new place to live, don't CH> call from home AT ALL. CH> /// Important note #2 ///// Don't let the prosecutor know your new CH> "real' physical address, CH> DA offices are notorious for having leaky filing systems, when it's CH> YOUR life, don't trust it to outsiders !!!!! CH> // I know this may sound paranoid, BUT a little bit of caution CH> "insurance" never hurt anyone. CH> //// Also be aware the Defense attorney can subpoena ANY records it CH> doesn't even really have to relate to the case, so the faster you can CH> create a paper trail AWAY from the Real you, the better. CH> /// Also when looking for a new place to live, BEWARE OF CREDIT CHECKS, CH> AS THEY TOO LEAVE A TRAIL TO FOLLOW, AND THIS ONE COULD BE A DEADLY CH> TRAIL !!!!! I thought I'd interject with, I, personally have ALL of the above set up, for GPs. Like I said before, I used to live in Greater LA. It is all good advice. Be aware that even *one* small breach of security can put you at risk! For a while, *no one* should know exactly where you are. Not even your mother! Funnel, even personal correspondence, via the mail drop. You can use MBE as long as they don't have your real address. Give ALL creditors, Telco, and utility companies your mail drop address, ONLY! Do NOT have the mail drop forward the mail! Pick it up yourself. MBE gives you a key to the front door so you can do your pickups late at night. "Four in the morning" pickups are prefered as there is no other traffic a stake-out could hide behind. Get in the habit of doing a reconnisance of any destination where you will be for even five seconds. You can usually pick out a tail this way and you avoid traps. NEVER go where there are large masses of people! Too many moving things to watch and you might miss a persuer. Especially, since you won't know what they look like! You have to spot them by their actions. Impossible to do in a crowd. Always know where the back-door is and where it leads. If possible, find the side-door too.
