Catching the bad guys on YouTube

Here's an interesting strategy: the Hennepin County Sheriff's office from Hennepin County, Minnesota, is now posting episodes of "Hennepin County's Most Wanted" onto YouTube. They currently broadcast this show on cable access stations in the Twin Cities area, but how big can that audience really be? And what if the criminals they're chasing have left the county? By broadcasting the show on YouTube, they're reaching a much broader audience.

The view counts aren't big yet -- but it'll be interesting to see where this goes as they continue to develop an audience on YouTube.
