The email addresses for Lafayette, California’s police ”tip line” are random Gmail addresses: 94549Tip@gmail.com and 94549Traffic@gmail.com. How is that not a problem for government record keeping? At least the Gmail addresses won’t expire like Maryland’s domain name registration.

- somat 3y agoHad to look it up but that is the zip code for Lafayette. it was probably the best out of several bad choices. A direct gmail domain is understandable for a small city government but it does look unprofessional. I liked how governments were one of the few organizations that took advantage of the hierarchical nature of dns, you would get things like dmv.ca.gov and courts.sf.ca.gov Unfortunately that is going away as well. everybody has to have a second level domain and now you have stupid things like lovelafayette.org instead of lafayette.ca.gov
