It's about my and others' bugging of librarians, politicians, lawyers and the like about access to practical materials for victims of crimes. Been doing this since 1991.

Just saw the movie Gone Baby Gone. It goes a little into why such information might be useful but also a threat to the powers that be. Some of the police departments I have contacted since 1992 have said as much, i.e. about the mixed benefits and liabilities to such information.

Gone Baby Gone had a complaint from a cop about jurors seeing too much CSI like shows. The uninformed are easier to manipulate.

Internet resources like Findlaw :bigthumbsup: also make people a little more informed.

On a side bar--Gone Baby Gone is a good movie except it has an awful lot of extremely bad language plus it is often hard to understand some of their Boston-- and it sounded like a particular part of Boston-- accents.
