So, I was flipping through a few posts as I usually do and something came to mind after following a few links today.
It seems like a lot of the news stories now which get posted on the net, including things such as burglary, home invasion, and defensive shootings now has the exact address of the location both in text and on some sort of map (such as google).
Maybe it's just me but in the light of such incident; say, I just fended off a bg with a firearm, the last thing I want is for some two bit newsguy to make a buck off my troubles and let anyone who keeps an eye out my location.
Does this bother anyone else that they do that?
Also, should something like this happen, is there any way to prevent such information from being released?
