>>>Thanks Al, I need to defeat the captcha that the sheriff's office put on their jail website. They did this to keep me from pulling the images and giving them to the public, after a person is released from jail.

>>Did they put up a captcha just to defeat you?? Or was it already in place, for the general public? Sounds like you need to use some soft human skills rather than hard tech skills < g >

>I think they did it for my benefit. You see the current Sheriff (idiot) and I have a "history". I told the world about him taking money from a guy we arrested with 2 kilos of cocaine, and having a fund raiser at the home of a millionaire, convicted felon. The event was coordinated by another ex county commissioner, felon, who just yesterday was sentenced again to the federal pen. I hooked up an autodialer and called 100,000 republicans in Shelby County to tell them about it. The news media did a big story on it, and for a while the article was carried on badcopnews.com. hahaha There's something liberating about reaching that point where you can retire. I put the SCSO on probation, and they had no hammer on me.

>As for the underbelly of the internet, oh well. It's no worse than, and I'm sure less than, what I've dealt with in the past.

Well, if this sheriff has a boss maybe you could contact him/her. Might be too picayune for them, though.

Otherwise it sounds like you start trolling for captcha crackers...
