While perusing a used bookstore in Bandung recently, I came across a “Los Angeles Retired Fire & Police” membership roster. It had the home address of every retired police officer (and firefighter) in Los Angeles. The book also had an index sorted by city for easy reference.
Roughly every 50 pages there was a bright neon page (see pics below) that indicated the information was confidential and not to be disseminated to outside sources.
Yes, I know it’s from 1995, but some of those addresses could still be valid. And doesn’t this constitute some sort of security breach? This sort of information really shouldn’t be shipped to the other side of the world and sold in a bookstore. I realize that in this day and age you can find anyone’s address on the Internet, but you can rest assured that police officers’ addresses are protected and not easily found. If you were a former convict with a score to settle, this book could give you the information you needed to exact your revenge.
