I know the majority of these probably won't happen, but what are some fugitive related things that you hope will improve or get better next year. I'm thinking in regards to publicity and coverage especially. Here are some of mine I hope happen.
1: Interpol Does US Red Notices Again -- This really needs to happen. We went through all of 2017 with just one red notice (which I checked and isn't even on their site anymore, and 2016 with just three. Surely the US still has good relations with Interpol (hopefully) that they can publicize fugitives that are still wanted. They would probably cover cases that the media has forgot about and where local law enforcement is focusing on newer cases instead.
2: CNN/HLN Does Fugitive Coverage Outside Of The Hunt -- Judging by the success of The Hunt, it wouldn't be a stretch to hope that HLN (more likely than CNN) may over time do brief profiles of fugitives and missing people when The Hunt isn't on. Even just a case of the week wouldn't be a bad idea. I guess it depends if 2018 will have more than 16 episodes of The Hunt.
3: Justice Network Does New Fugitive PSA Announcements -- We've talked about this issue multiple times, I don't want to be talking about it still at the end of 2018.
4: Another Fugitives From Justice Like News Report -- I would really like to see a major city US newspaper do a story that's similar to the Chicago Tribune's Fugitives From Justice series, and focus on some longtime fugitives from a major city aside from Chicago (ex. New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Philadelphia, Houston, Dallas, etc.). I think these major police agencies don't have as much time to do fugitive publicity than smaller departments, so getting the media to help would be ideal.
5: Stop Focusing So Much On Non-Violent Drug Fugitives -- Scumhunter will probably agree with me on this, there are numerous most wanted pages I have visited where most of the fugitives are wanted for non-violent drug offenses. Now if those are all the fugitives they're looking for then I can understand that, but I find hard to believe that there are little-to-no violent fugitives wanted out of these cities and counties. While we're on this topic, law enforcement really needs to stop over-profiling probation violators (that haven't been convicted of murder or sex offenses). There are surely more dangerous fugitives they could be profiling.
Any other 2018 resolutions you guys would like to see?
