Man Lists Cop Addresses/Cars/Photos

Web worm posts cop secrets

"A Queens man has created a Web site divulging home addresses and other personal details of police officers - even putting up photos of undercover detectives."

I actually came across this site a week or so ago and decided not to link to it. I decided it wasn't worth the headache. The crazy thing about it is I found the link on a pro-cop Web site. Basically, it was "look what this asshole is doing" sort of thing. Made zero sense.

Interesting thing is... this guy may have a legal leg to stand on:

"'As a general legal proposition, people are generally allowed to reveal what they know, and to simply rely on the fact that you're allowed to provide truthful information,' he [ScaryNY: some smart legal guy] said. 'But there are some circumstances in which revealing the information is troubling.'"

If you want to find the site, it's not hard. I'm just not going to link it (today). I bet a search at Google for "Website Posting NYPD Officer's Addresses" will get you far.
