How would You Feel without FR?

Suppose one day you tried to log on and Free Republic wasn’t there?

Insight into world affairs, brilliant wit, sharp retorts, instant information gratification are a few of the things that make FR so vital.

How would you keep on top of things without FR?

How would you know who to contact to complain about the lying politicians, Media Bias, Hollyweirds latest mouth off, sponsors of these idiots, company policies that are unfair and all the other things we need to know to counteract the liberal mindset and the evil plans of liberals?

How would you be part of a Freep?

I think it should be done to all "public servants" full disclosure, money where they live, etc.

They all work for us and no one should become a millonaire off tax money, including HR perot.

You don't want anything known about you don't got into public service.

Public service should equal no privacy.

I agree with you even though I don't know exactly, but I can guess....

They're not at any great risk now. On the job injuries and deaths are much lower than pilots, electricians, contruction workers and I believe even handymen.

Funny your comment mirrors many of the cop's quotes on the subject. They say on one side of their mouth how conerned they are about the potential for violence, out of the other side they want real-world harm to come to a guy running a web site.

Poor babies.

[HairOfTheDog]

Mr. Sheehan, a 41-year-old computer engineer in Mill Creek, Wash., near Seattle, says his postings hold the police accountable, by facilitating picketing, the serving of legal papers and research into officers' criminal histories. His site collects news articles and court papers about what he describes as inadequate and insincere police investigations, and about police officers who have themselves run afoul of the law.

Well, that is complete B.S., when considered with his earlier "Mr. Sheehan, ...who promises to expand his site to include every police and corrections officer in the state by the end of the year. ". No citizen needs personal home contact information to serve papers if they have been wronged by a cop. If they are wronged by a cop, the department should and would be served. This is not news to Mr. Sheehan, of course.

We hire police to deal with the very worst evil in our communities.... To give them a tool to seek revenge on the pretext of fighting some heroic battle for justice is irresponsible, and I can only hope he doesn't get someone killed.

I am in Washington state.

Police would love to have the fingerprints, DNA profile, tax returns, bank account balances and complete gun registration information on all law-abiding citizens at their fingertips at all times.

But we aren't supposed to know anything about them?

Mabye they should all wear black ski masks when on duty too.

That way their privacy would be completely protected.

Being a cop is almost as dangerous as being a gardener.

I guess you don't get it. Some Police are just as dirty as the scum them put behind bars. They kill more innocent citizens than CCW or RTC owners.

You must think that police are as pure as the driven snow.

The newspapers are full of dirty police going to jail for fabricating stories.

You are the one at risk no the police, because they have firearms to protect them. Don't think for a minute that their homes are unarmed.

Sounds exactly like what the Fetus People have done to Doctors performing entirely legal abortions.

They disaprove of their activities, so they shine a spotlight on their personal lives.

Somehow this seemed inevitable once the U.S Supreme Court ruled that publishing addresses, SSN, etc., of sex offenders online wasn't a violation of their right to privacy. I still don't understand why they didn't rule that it was -- but like the RKBA it could be lost upon conviction.

Then again, the SCOTUS seems to be working from a different text than the rest of us. For example, this "right of privacy" that I can't find anywhere in the Constitution is a pretty odd beast -- it protects abortion, but not information people might consider private.

[J. Byron]

I didn't look at his website myself because I have no interest. I see absolutely no reason to have SS numbers or phone numbers listed. Would YOU like to have your's listed via an activist's site? (Btw, I bet you all put your names on Bush's do-not-call-list.) However, I would be interested in a listing of arrest statistics, number of complaints against them, demographics and such.

[elbucko]

His site collects news articles and court papers about what he describes as inadequate and insincere police investigations, and about police officers who have themselves run afoul of the law.I think this is important public information and deserves to be posted on the Internet. The public has no duty to protect the police from themselves.

[Porterville]

This should be illegal.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

My biggest complaint is with abuse by federal law enforcement cowboys. A lot of those guys can get away with anything and don't ever seem to be held accountable. Law enforcement abuse by the feds is the biggest threat to our freedom and privacy in America.

[garbanzo]

Exactly at what point did we become a fascist state? You know, one in which law enforcement officers have special rights against public scrutiny that the rest of us don't have.

[Old Professer]

This "idiot", as you call him, is exercising his 1st Amendment rights and has been found justified by a federal court.

What happened here is that the state allowed the prior dissemination and linking of public information to otherwise sensitive information such as SSN's and now finds itself caught in a trap of its own making.

Had the web site operator not received maltreatment at the hands of the police, there would never have been a web site out there to complain about.

The very notion that the state can selectively prohibit the use of certain public information because it involves authorities is the very genesis of a police state.

[husky ed]

During my entire time in Law Enforcement as a correctional officer and as a police officer, my Full Name, Address, and Phone Number was always listed (and still is) in the phone book.

During that 10 year period, only one time did I ever have someone contact me at my house. And that was a phone call from a victim of a crime.

[Jhoffa_]

I dont' agree with posting anyones SS# or the like. Cops or not, I wouldn't expose them to identity theft.

Name, city, badge #, legal history and photograph would be plenty if this guy has a beef with some corrupt cops, imo.
