INMATES USE NEWSPAPER'S GUN MAP TO THREATEN GUARDS
The entirely predictable consequences of the Journal News' decision to publish a map of gun-owners marches on…
Rockland County Sheriff Louis Falco, who spoke at a news conference flanked by other county officials, said the Journal News' decision to post an online map of names and addresses of handgun owners Dec. 23 has put law enforcement officers in danger.
"They have inmates coming up to them and telling them exactly where they live. That's not acceptable to me," Falco said, according to Newsday.
Robert Riley, an officer with the White Plains Police Department and president of its Patrolman’s Benevolent Association, agreed.
There is a crime committed here. Invasion of privacy is major. There may not be a specific local law that prevents this type of action, there are other laws that can be called into action. Let's hope this happens.
So if a convicted felon's (like a registered sex offender) address is listed in a newspaper, a law has been broken? Huh, I guess I need to check that one out.
I would love to see a newspaper publish all the address of all the anti-gun politicians.
