I certainly hope that neighborhoods do not start
making these mug shot sites. And especially if it is
merely for a charge, and not a conviction. Do we then
start putting mug shots of bad cops on neighborhood
sites - when police have complaints lodged against
them? How about bad neighbors that don't cut their
lawn, or are caught drinking in their back yard? How
about setting up committees with local real estate
agents to get the names of potential incomming
neighbors and checking with old neighbors and credit
bureaus?
I think that there are already many laws in place to
deal with people who break the law, and instead of
creating vigilante groups to dole out additional
punishment for suspected wrong-doers, how about
brainstorming policies for positive policies that
create community and work with the assets of the
neighborhood, instead of pandering to the base
instincts of further exclusion, retribution, and
punishment.
