Why is it we can't get the exact address of sex offenders in our area but scum losers can get SSNs and exact addresses for LEOs?

Our state allows this. We publish their photos in the daily newspaper, they get updated everytime they move.

That newspaper article is missing one crucial bit of information. If they had one ounce of journalistic integrity they would have at MINIMUM listed his phone #, address, social security number, etc.

Oh, I don't know... Could it be these things called the American Legal System and Public Records of Civil Servants? I don't trust SO's to keep the peace, be of good moral fiber, avoid corruption, protect the civilian populace, etc. All Sheehan did was aggregate public information. Good for him. Accountability goes a long way to keeping noses clean. As others have said here before; they took the job as public employees. I like knowing who works for me and how many times he/she has been arrested and how many bankruptcy's he/she has.
