Visualize Convicted Felons in your Neighborhood
*** Update ***
This site, though interesting for locating alleged felons in your neighborhood, appears to be a hoax per the comments section.
Do you want to know which house to skip come trick-or-treating on Halloween? Check out this site to see where the convicted felons live in your neighborhood. I entered the address of the house I grew up in and it showed me all of the felons in my old neighborhood (see below).
The website has a pretty funny [scary] introduction and FAQ:
“Safety starts with good information, even if it ends with a loaded .44 caliber pistol. While FelonSpy.com can’t help you get a gun, we can certainly help you figure out which direction to point it in.” Seriously?
“I want to kill someone, should I use this database as a guideline?
No you shouldn’t, mostly. Killing would make you a criminal as well and there are other sites similar to ours that also track everyone who has even been accused of a crime. If that was okay actions to take, people would be hunting you before you know it, and that doesn’t help anyone. Yelling obscenities isn’t a bad idea though, that’s just a misdemeanor in most places.”
Best of all, you can use their contact page to submit the name of a criminal in your neighborhood that may not be listed. Hopefully, there is some validation surrounding these submissions. This can be a powerful tool if you are looking to buy a house. I wouldn’t want to live next door to a convicted assailant or murderer, would you?
The site gives: First Name, Last Name, Age and the type of convictions
