You might have one of those dangerous people in your neighborhood
A database of where journalists live. Tit for tat, I guess.
You know, some enterprising person with time and access to lexis legal resources could start looking up staff members at newspapers who publish this stuff (like the Herald Times Online or the Commercial Appeal) and see if those staffers current on taxes; have any fines, liens, traffic violations; how much they paid for their house; are on any registries; post addresses; vehicle types; and all sorts of other stuff that they may want private. You know, the public’s right to know and all.

You can pull divorce proceedings, child custody arrangements, dates of birth and social security numbers of kids, etc.

I prefer a database with the home addresses of every member of Congress along with other properties owned by those miscreants. I imagine you’d be getting calls from the FBI if you mailed their offices a Xerox copy of what is reported by zillow.com. You can get street and aerial views of the house, value, value of the neighbors house, etc.
I’m sure the subtleness of letting them know you know where they live would be lost on their staffers. Pity.

Pretty soon there would be a new law making it illegal to publicize information about our overlords^^^^^^^^^legislators.

It’s already illegal to publicize info about cops and prosecutors (if you identify them as such)….
I wrote a webapp for restaurant carry that was going to be released pending a favorable outcome in the lawsuit. Maybe I can modify it to be a journalist watchlist.

WizardPC, you have already got the webspace – just let me know what else you need :).

What a dumb list. Most journalists don’t try to hide. Some of them own guns too.

If they start shooting people to death with tax liens, that might be a good idea. Until then, it merely sounds useless, vindictive, and confused.

KTK, your comparison makes perfect sense if you’re stupid.
