I hope this attracts both positive and negative reviews of police officers.

  Given the nature of the example profile, which lists nothing but stories about an alleged killing by the officer profiled, and the option on the submit form calling the post title and url 'evidence' (suggesting the user is reporting a crime) and a badge number (also suggesting the user is reporting a crime, because no one asks for a badge number if they're happy about the way the cops have treated them) I would assume this site is not intended to present cops in an impartial light, or at least, that it's intended to favor negative reviews over positive ones. Which could still be a valuable service either way. I hope it does get both positive and negative reviews. I see the tragedy of the commons dragging it down into the mire pretty quick, though.

    I put the badge number there because I did not want people posting fake reviews, I wanted only people that had actual interaction with the Cop to be able to vote. As for the word "evidence" I did not see that as having a negative connotation; which is why the example tag is 'awesome' and not something bad. Also, currently there are more positive cop reviews on the site than negative.

      >Also, currently there are more positive cop reviews on the site than negative. Fair enough. Where can we see a more typical example? Because the one you posted was pretty unfavorable.

      I'm not sure that would stop fake reviews though unless somehow you're validating these badge numbers somehow to make sure they match the name posted, etc...

        Im validating badge numbers to make sure they match the name and police department listed.
