		<description>As a sex offender I have to say I find this a real bore. Don't you people realise that around every corner, perhaps right next to you lives a drunk, a wife beater, a man beater, a fraudster, a rapist,  - the list goes on.

These people need help, they need to be able to feel part of a community. If you are worried about someone stop being so insular, reach out, help.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the link!  This site has one of the best mash-ups I have ever seen, and it even states on their site that this Locator is still in BETA, which means that it will probably look even better when it hits the production stage.  Some of the comments above referring to the fact that the information is not as up-to-date as the other registries is not completely true as I checked my area and found that it was identical to the State Database.  Then I checked that familywatchdog site that was mentioned above and there were several differences.  So I'm a little curious as to who is leaving those comments on here.  I would recommend only cross-checking with your state registry as I am sure there are holes somewhere in the system.  

 

I also noticed some other peace-of-mind products on their website (I believe that is what P.O.M. stands for, i.e. POM Alert and POM GPS.  www.thevision2020.com).  It looks like these guys are doing more than just informing people about the growing problem of Sex Offenders in the US but actually integrating some other peace-of-mind products together.....

 

Overall..........I love the fact that someone out there is trying to find a solution to this problem or at least give us a tool to allow us to be AWARE!</description>

		<description>Im not sure if everyone has had the chance but I went and looked through the rest of this companyies services.  Besides the offender locator that will update you if an offender moves into your  neighborhood to keep you updated,  I found some particular interesting ideas they have.  They  have an alert system like a personal assistant attached to every major government agency that has information that can be sent out to the public in time of need.  So you will always be updated in event of an emergency.  They also have a cool gps device that is hooked up to some awesome software if you check out the video on www.thevision2020blog.com you can see it.  I gather since this is a beta stage for their software and products we will see some great things to come from Vision 20/20.</description>

		<description>I work in law enforcement in California (I update our agency's sex offender addresses in our state's database).  Some of the addresses on the Vision 20/20 website are two months old, i.e. California's Megan's Law website shows the registrant's current address, but the Vision 20/20 website shows an old address.  The ONLY current, accurate information on registered sex offenders can be found on a state's official, government website.</description>

		<description>Where is the site for the millions of unreported molestations committed every day by the very people who scream the loudest about sex offenders? 

Its not the perv behind the bush you have to fear, its Mommy and Daddy and Uncle Pete. 

Parents who are not molesting their kids who rely on the government to protect their children should be automatically charged with neglect. Who in their right mind would trust the US or ANY state government with the safety of our kids? Parents, the government has already told you that you are not to be trusted to keep your kids safe... age limits on drinking, sex, driving, smoking and a host of other age-related laws prove that parents in the US have lost their ability to properly raise their kids and the government has to step in. 

Its only logical that more sites and lists are coming. Some states already have them for other criminals. With over 31 million released felons in the US and that number growing by thousands each day, sites like this will be a way to make millions off of irrational American fear. 

Parents will be burning down and beating a registered sex offender 2 blocks over while Aunt Patty is babysitting their kids and fondling them in the bathtub. 

It is sites like this and vigilantes that will get Megan's Law and the Wetterling Act repealed. The first time a child of a sex offender is murdered by a vigilante then we will see that we are endangering the very children we claim to protect. Wait, maybe the kids of sex offenders are not good kids and its ok to kill them? We only need to protect the good kids, those whose parents havent been caught yet?

Maybe these sites are run by convicted offenders who have found a way to profit from the very fear that was created by the hype of their crimes. Some local pig pens are spending 50-70% of their budget to monitor offenders who contribute to less than 1% of the crime, because they have already been convicted and punished! So we spend tons of money to monitor a group of people who for the most sake obey the law, HAHAHA. Gotta love America.</description>

		<description>Nicely done. There are a few good free sites all of whom update on different schedules. Best to look at more than one for a complete view of local safety.</description>

		<description>Not only is this site ugly, it's wrong.  I looked at the California's Megans Law site and at familywatchdog.us, and both of them were more correct in the number of sex predators around me.

And wrong is dangerous.  This site is missing my next door neighbor who is a registered freak and has tried to get my son to come into his house on several occasions.  I first found out he is a child molester a year ago using familywatchdog.us.  I use familywatchdog.us to keep track of my neighborhood and the state site to verify it.

I would recommend everyone avoid this site like the plague.  If you are going to review something that can be the difference between life and death that you at least make sure it's right before you promote it.</description>

		<description>To all those Europeans who imagine that this couldn't happen anywhere else except in the USA, there have been reported campaigns in some of the British newspapers for exactly this sort of thing.  Yes, so far the politicians, amazingly, have resisted the temptation but there are still a large number of people in the UK who would support this.

I agree with those who express concern at what constitutes a sex offender especially if the bit about urinating in public is true.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To all those Europeans who imagine that this couldn&#8217;t happen anywhere else except in the USA, there have been reported campaigns in some of the British newspapers for exactly this sort of thing.  Yes, so far the politicians, amazingly, have resisted the temptation but there are still a large number of people in the UK who would support this.</p>

		<description>Anyone that would promote this kind of website in Europe would instantly be labelled a extreme-right fascist.
Seems that USA has still a lot to learn about civil liberties.</description>

		<description>I think it's an amazing and really good idea. Maybe they will extend it to also show if they are bums around my suburb so I can avoid them. 

Even further, we can imagine a more generic version of the website who can show around your place every gays, non-Christians, and kids in difficulty. So I can protect myself even more and to have this humongous feeling to live nicely in my own and tiny closed world.

There is a better way for technology in our society. it's not this one.</description>

		<description>This has 1984 written all over it. As we progress towards an Orwellian police state, such applications will come handy in implementing the future surviellance society. Spock is another example of such invasive technologies. Keep an eye out for your liberties. We are losing them at a very fast pace.</description>

		<description>This is by far the sickest mashup I have ever seen.

Unbelievable that in stupid-ass-political-correct-country United States of Awareness you can get away with such databases. But wait, I forgot - you guys opted out of privacy and freedom of speech to counter terrorism.

Generally, yeah, I see the usefullness for the über-paranoid - then again if you read up on the data collection and see under which circumstances some people are in there it's just wrong.</description>

		<description>As a european citizen, I though US justice was fair, but helping people beeing publicly humiliated is obviously wrong. Justice is not revenge, making people suffer is not the goal of justice, it is bad and pointless. Justice is puting the guy in jail as long as he does not deserve to live in the comunity, to protect people. That's all. 

If i had to find a reason of your "Thought Police" comments, i think it is about obvious failure of jail purpose. Even in europe this is a problem. Most of the criminals do become more criminal if you make them go in jail, because jail is more a "school for criminals" than a place to learn how to live in a comunity. 

This is the problem we have to face, and publicly humiliating so much people wo are just victims for at least 50% of the cases, well, it's sick, and pointless.</description>
