Wow, this is evil. A website which I will not name here makes it easy to search the "criminal" records of anyone you want.
Nobody likes criminals right?
Well what if the "criminal" is a neighbor who got a speeding ticket, once, in a southern state. Is that any of my business?
I wanted to see if there were any "real" criminals living nearby so I typed in my zip. Oh my, there's someone down the block!
I click the link - and the poor guy is a SPEEDER. Oh my, someone call the FBI.
The internet goes too far sometimes, this is one of those times.
The Department of Common Sense does not favor censorship, so we will not suggest any legal recourse to this website....but free men are able to have self-restraint. Hopefully the website will.
A good essay in The New York Times is below.
If You Run a Red Light, Will Everyone Know?
A new Web site offers free, ad-supported criminal searches, letting people search by name through criminal archives of all 50 states and 3,500 counties in the United States.
