Flawed Map Says L.A.'s Crime Highest Next to Police HQ
CNET briefly describes how a poorly chosen default behavior has led to an online crime map of Los Angeles (on a site designed at a cost of $362,000) that shows that "a location just a block from the department's new headquarters is the most crime-ridden place in the city." I wonder how often this sort of error would completely skew things like real-estate maps that attempt to show whether houses in a certain neighborhood are worth more than those in the one next door.

All know that the highest crime locations always are in legislative government institutions, not in police stations (police choose to do their crimes far from there).
Wonder if US highest crime is geolocated in Washington.
Men cannot be raped and blacks cannot be racists. It is written into the democratic partys national charter, accepted by all major news outlets, and become generally accepted politically correct behavior.
The map is accurate for the most part, it's just a block off.
