Copwatch.com is a gem of a website when it comes to reporting police misconduct. I urge everyone to visit sometime.
This here is quite the nifty little nugget from the site.

It’s a very disturbing thought to know that if you’re in that database, they can look up anything about you for no reason. And even more disturbing is that sometimes they do. It got me thinking, maybe citizens should have our own database to keep an eye of cops in our neighborhood. They would say that it would make them vulnerable and unable to feel safe, but we could make the same argument. If we don’t feel safe then why should they? Don’t we have a right to privacy?
Of course that would never happen. A man can dream though.
