Not sure what other section to put this in, so I picked this one.
Indiana just did a total overhaul of their sex offender registry. What used to be a really tedious system where you had to know what street the offender lived on to find those in your area is long gone. Before you couldn't search by zip code. You couldn't search for ones near your address. You could only search by city and/or by street name.
This is changed. Indiana's registry now allows you to type in your address, and then it maps all the offenders in your neighborhood, as far out as 20 miles or as far in as a half mile radius.
It also allows you to show their photos by hovering your mouse over the marker.
It also shows the addresses where they work and/or go to school.
It's simply put, outstanding.
And I might add that it's been helpful with my househunting (although, I'm still pissed that I have to even worry about it in the first place. These child molesters should be locked up for life on the first offense).
Anyway, if y'all want to check it out, it's at
http://www.insor.org/insasoweb/
You can try this address as an example (a local fast food restaurant)
5956 Brookville Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46219
If you want to see a picture of all the offenders in the neighborhood, check out the "Map & List" tab on the search results page.
