Wow, talk about breach of privacy. :/

I already find it weird that your news often names people who are accused of something, since even if the allegation turns out to be not true, the damage can already be done. But to start reporting on every single arrest is just... weird.

"Ah, so according to FutureGoogle you were accused of raping someone 20 years ago.. Sure, according to my search there was no conviction.. but that doesn't mean you're innocent! Stay away from my daughter!"

Took me 5mins to find the first prostitute.

Although yeah what Mystman said, it don't seem right at all, that and it shows charges that are still open.

Who needs a right to privacy? We all need to know where these accused people live so I can firebomb their houses.

Aren't arrests public record? Our local paper lists arrests of the week, but usually not the names or addresses of the arrestees.

I doubt many will be presumed innocent. It could be me; I've known people who were wrongfully arrested.
