Offensive Behavior
One of my coworkers is a registered sex offender.
I know this because:
I've always Googled my dates, prospective employers, that pesky dry patch of skin on my elbow.
I never thought twice about researching coworkers and dirty little secrets.
Checking various community 'watchdog' sites reveals that I should be a little wary about walking around this neighborhood at night; one of my neighbors, he lives just across the street, is also a registered sex offender.
As is the man down the street.
And three of his neighbors.
And if I change the search query to include a five mile radius?
Time to think about moving.
I know this because:
- finding the information online is easy
- a complete stranger told me causing my inquiring mind to wander the web

Co-workers and neighborhood are things I've avoided Googling for crimes and stuff because it's just a little too weird.
I did look at the sex offender search for my area a few years back and found a lot of little dots popping up on the map around me. I know there are various levels of offenses, but it was still freaky.
