The only way I've gotten any kind of response is going around police to city council members or Chamber members who promoted the event that I attended from out of town. The code of silence is more typical of criminal gangs: looks like gang, dresses like a gang, engages in coercive activities like a gang and bands together whenever one of their own is in trouble - must be a police force.JT Barriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571868033521182864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-81062975182614460082008-03-28T18:33:00.000-05:002008-03-28T18:33:00.000-05:00Juking the stats!

The beauty of the internet, despite anonymous observation, is that I can criticize an officer who I believe has mistreated me without having to fear retribution. While I wouldn't post their addresses and phone numbers, if it's public information, then it's public information and the police organizations should encourage their membership to make sure their info is unlisted.<BR/><BR/>But lest you think I'm being tough on cops, I would welcome the creation of RateMyJudge.com or RateMyDefenseAttorney.com.

Any blackhat with system access can find out who sent what, and then retaliate. We know, sadly, what happens to whistleblowers.<BR/><BR/>If the police want to invite information, and guarantee anonymity, the only way to do this is a mail stop, allowing sources to send postcards they've left no fingerprints on.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who isn't paranoid in this technological age isn't playing with a full deck. Nothing a citizen does has any real hope of privacy, while at the same time the government operates in increasing secrecy. The government can coerce anyone into surrendering access to their data, and I admit it would be pointless to resist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
