Just one more way of abusing the registry for someone to profit from and in addition to and most importantly perpetuating; the MYTH that knowing where already “caught” individuals who have been convicted (rightly or wrongly) of a sex offense is going to make anyone one bite safer…

In reality, all it does it create a false sense of security and actually lowers the attention to where real dangers might be since as is well documented the majority of sex crimes are not done by strangers at all but rather someone the victim knows or is even related to.

But hey, lets face it…reality has very little to do with how the system works or even how most people think. Most are quite happy actually NOT thinking or facing reality at all. Let the government create their version of “reality” and blindly accept it.

Couldn’t I use this map to find all sex offenders in close proximity to my NYC Hotel – in whose support this organization exists? Are hotels in some sort of magic sex offender free zone?

All this tells me that there there are a whole lotta sex offenders in NYC. Maybe I won’t be going to NYC on vacation any time soon. No need for a hotel, then 🙂

I think it would be good to develop a free website that accurately details politicians facing criminal or civil charges and members of law enforcement who are in that same category; thieves, chronic liars, abusers of power, molesters of children and so on…list their places of employment and residences as well, it’s all fair in love and war.
