In this day of huge corporations and secretive government, the people's only recourse is web-based public humiliation/pressure. When the police feel that this threatens them, even with the fair solution of allowing their rebuttals, and they manage to shut down and intimidate anyone wanting to hold them accountable, we live in a police state.
From THREAT LEVEL:
Our prediction: A year from now RateMyCop.com will have won public service awards. Good cops, and clean departments, will have come to think of the site as a friend, and its founders will be sought-after speakers at police gatherings. Hosting companies that reject them on "health and safety" grounds will look like fools and cowards.
Fortunately, enough people seem to realize the dangers that there's hope to counter it through websites like RateMyCop.com. I mean, the warrantless wiretapping and Orwellian legislation names sorta had to clue us in too, right?
