As far as these perpatrators being "low income", some of them at least must have enough money for a cell phone and service.
I think it would be great to get a conviction under RICO for this sort of activity.
I am guessing that the parents of these teens are not very involved with their kids. It's always the same story... when the police are dealing with these delinquents the parents are no where to be found, when they do find them - they are beligerent.
But when their kid takes a bullet from a failed robbery - momma is on the evening news with big aligator tears crying "My baby! my baby!"
I have a relative who works for the Chicago Public Schools in IT (consultant), and I can tell you, it will take a long long time for the city to respond technologically to this phenomenon. They move very slowly on the tech front. Also the political machine doesn't like to part with the money for stuff like that - every dollar spent on something like that equates to a disgruntled cronie.
