When the Journal News caused a national uproar and endangered the lives of its staff to create a Google Map of gun permit holders in New York, it was justified for the cause of transparency and civic dialog. Unfortunately, it now appears that the map was woefully inaccurate, possibly implicating citizens who had died, ditched their guns, or moved. “Nobody ever called and verified the address,” said Mike Smith, who was surprised to see his address on the map, and apparently was marked after his brother had used his address when he applied for a handgun licence. Whoops!Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/ZYNju95R4vM/
