I mean, it's in the police blotter that's published in the newspaper. Assuming you still have a local newspaper, that is.
I'm not specifically aware of whether this is the case, but I would hope that the results of deliberations by criminal courts is public information.
- kelnos 9y agoSo you're seriously suggesting that someone should have to go to their local library and wade through years of back issues to see if their child's friend's parents have committed a crime? And also travel to whatever other places they've lived to do the same? All because blah blah right to be forgotten, so google etc. isn't allowed to index the relevant articles? That's absurd.
- megaman22 9y agoThat's almost exactly the opposite of what I'm arguing. I'd argue that previously, all of this information was on file, and accessible, and relatively well-known. Google delisting it is the weird, anomalous development.
- amelius 9y ago> all of this information was on file, and accessible, and relatively well-known But there is a big difference between having information at your fingertips in a searchable database, and having to go to a library and do the searching manually. Perhaps google could provide the information after the user solved 1000 captchas :)
- freeone3000 9y agoSo if my local newspaper digitized their archive, they'd suddenly be in violation of user's privacy?
