  1. Re:99.999% false positives? by DynamoJoe · · Score: 1 · on Could Cops Use Google As Pre-Cogs?
    Even a false positive might only be false after the fact. In this case, I think if the cops showed up asking about the curious searches that they a) wouldn't have gone through with it and b) might have been busted for possesion even if they still would have.

    The female doesn't seem to have been arrested yet but the boyfriend has. I'm expecting a breakup.

    Found her. I'm in love Sarah H

    Well the Florida police have certainly made it easy enough to fucking find her.

    Okay, I get extortion angle. I get the freedom-of-information angle. I even get the protect-the-community angle. But why does the website have tags? Who really needs to sort the suspects by hotness? http://florida.arrests.org/tagged.php?flag=Hottie

    Hmmm..

    What of this?

    By the charges, I'd guess he broke a window and stole an xBox.

    Pretty harsh to have the lifetime scarlet letter in the name of community data rights.

    The pictures are scraped from half a dozen sheriff websites from around the state. They will remain there, but.....

    The point is these guys do all the SEO optimization they can, so when you do a search for your name, it comes up. For example, if you do a Google search for phantomfive, this is what you find. (ok, that's a joke).

    For some people, that website actually comes up. And they don't want their mugshot to be in the first 10 search results for their name. So they pay, in some cases, over $1000 to get it removed. Ouch.
