Of course my scenario was hypothetical, but are you saying you'd
be fine with it if you for example had small kids and found out
you just bought a house next to someone who'd done a stretch for
pedophilia related crimes?

No, but thats the reason few places allow that sort of thing to be publicised, where those who have been
convicted are currently 'living'

Huh? Most places have laws specifically addressing pedophiles and other
sex criminals (whether they should and how it's run is another issue).

Few places allow where those are currently 'living' to be
publicised to anyone who wants to know.

Many have web sites where you can look up the names and addresses
of those convicted of sex crimes and search for any in your neighborhood.

**** all do, actually.

Well, that's where they're currently living, isn't it?

Irrelevant to what can be looked up on web sites.

Criminal records are public information.

But not the current location of criminals who are no longer in jail.

Actually, quarterly our local newspaper publishes names, addresses and photos of sex offenders who have been released
and are now living in this county.

Pity the OP was talking about a SPREE KILLER, not a sex offender.

Just because you can't keep up with the conversation doesn't mean
that others are just as stupid.

There are also regulations on where they can live in the county, in terms of a required distances their residence must
be from schools and churches.

Pity there isnt with the SPREE KILLER the OP was talking about.

Pity that others *WERE* talking about such things in this thread,
which *you* joined, Ronnie. Jackass.
