Hi all,

first some short info about me, before I may be flamed : I'm married an have 2 children, of which one daughter of 6 years and a boy of 16.

Now my question : what if some "information" in this list is wrong ? :?
What would be the consequences on the incorrectly declared sex offender ??
Have you ever thought one of us can be mistakenly "stored" there (no risk for me...as I don't live in the US)
Who's entitled to declare your neighbour as a criminal ? Reality show makers ?

I don't agree with such lists being legally? made public. This info should be dealt by police, hospitals, psychologists or whoever may use them in a right way : not Mr Anybody, i.e. you and ME.

Curious, because anyone may virtually be listed there against his will...but people leaving testimonials are...anonymous. :roll:
Imagine an insane killing his neighbour because of this list ! I'm upset about the way this information can be spread without control. That's not far from facism, sorry. Please, don't ask me what I would do if my daughter would be the victim of one of those : I would react exactly as you would, as I pretend to be a normal being. But THIS LIST IS A SHAME.

@Pix, a person cannot be listed unless they are convicted of that exact crime, and have a mugshot in the system. otherwise they cannot be listed for any reason, put in some city and state you will not find anyones photo on the beach, or anywhere except infront of a white brickwall with a dumbfounded smirk.

if a person is put on this list wrongfully they can sue for their name to be removed, but I have never heard of that happening, ever.

Thx for your answer. Maybe I'm a bit naive and react accordingly, I must recognize.

But what does "convicted" mean ? Officially condamned by a court ?

found guilty of an offense against the law by a jury/judge of peers (those who live in the area where the crime took place)

and its ok to be naïve, just as long as you get ur facts straight (=

Well, that makes more sense then...
But I still don't like the principle, something is not right in the way the information is treated. I would maybe see things differently if I would live in the US.
