I know that if something like this were to come to my attention regarding anywhere I have lived I would look up the names of the politicians; The mayors, city councils, police commissioners and print it out and mail it to them. There's probably more than a couple people who have already started collecting this priceless data about particular people because you know them, have a grudge or just because you can see their mortgages and know how much money they have!! I like government making itself more transparent through these means, in this case someone made a decision about this program without knowing enough about what it would do... I can't believe a politician in this country would do something like that.
You're right. You can always find an example to prove your point if you break it down to a small enough scale (ie one niche industry). But as a whole you can't say the same thing so you pretty much have to throw the idea out the window as being true.
