Americans will be Americans. A novel idea with a pecking outcome.
Wouldn't it be nice to know how much you can trust a person when you first meet him? And who knows - a quick background check would make your life that much easier. Especially when you think about crimes in and around your neighbourhood. Hold up. Make that a nationwide affair.
PeopleFinders, a 20-year-old company based in Sacramento, introduced a website last month which helps people view/track criminal records using known/random names. Hit the site, type in a name you dislike and voila!... you have a winner (of losers).
Here's a sample shot of the search I ran --
Crazy and telling at the same time. The working model lets users view a map showing addresses and names of all those arrested or convicted of a crime in a specific neighborhood, and to place alerts that prompt e-mail when someone in their life gets busted or someone with a record moves in nearby. That's very intriguing if you look at the kind of information that's being passed around but it's all the more paranoiac-pressing. Everyone can be pinned on the map in a while. All this data isn't perfect even though the database is dependent on courthouse logs.
Well, before you hurriedly click on the link to enjoy your impulse at this site note that 0.1% of the ethnicity on the database points to Indians. The majority (60%) lies with Caucasians.
