As long as the "personal" information on the site is publicly available elswhere I don't think the guv will be able to crack down on the site. I like this person’s idea.

I did not sign any permission form giving the Bay County government authorization to release my name and address. I also wonder what other information about me was given away. Because of this blatant disregard for my privacy, I decided to fight the ticket rather than pay it. I am also thinking about finding grounds for a lawsuit against the county. If I am unable to beat the ticket or successfully sue the county, then my next course of action may be to create a public database containing the personal information of county officials. I wonder how quickly the government will crack down on a website like this. Anyway, if I decide to do this, the website will be hosted in a country not controlled by the U.S. government or the cartels.
