I agree the what is described in the following is, excessive. Police shoild keep a realtime activity log, at their own offices, available for public or press inspection, but they should not be going out of their way to distribute the information, as they seem to be doing here:

So should the same be said for Megan's law registrations? yet I can find numerous sites that recycle this information over and over and over...
