" I agree with open records; however, all too often those who have been in court or jail cannot get a job because if this website. Those men and women are doomed to a life of unemployment because nobody hires those who have been in trouble. No matter how long ago. Plus, this site is far from real time and not everyone is posted. Some counties choose who gets posted and who does not. The site should be restricted at least so those who want to move forward with their lives, can do just that. Thanks for 'listening'. "

" To spengler:I hear your comments and agree for the most part. However, just so you know, this didn't degenerate into people turning this into a playground... Some things were being said on here that were/are personal attacks and bordered on slander (contrary to what Krusty said) which is criminal. Comments were made to me from Krusty (that were removed) that were offensive and inappropriate. Some people should have been taught as children that life has rules and you should play fair. Obviously, that wasn't the case here. That being said, when you break rules you need to be called on it. This should be the end of it. "

Kamkik - i'm empathetic, but don't argue with an idiot - it's too hard to tell you apart - find a new venue for personal concerns
there's always going to be people who abuse the system with their lack of real awareness [yes, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing] but the more information we have available the greater freedom we actually have - and no one ever closes that door just a little... it's always a first step in the application of power...

" One more to EarlKrusty: Even without anger management, you fear me because I speak the truth without fear. You hiding behind your being a clown proves you are one. The biggest compliment I received recently was from Joe Heim, a political anaylist and professor in political sciences at UW-L. He has been monitoring certain writings and found mine to be of MODERATE thought, not liberal as many of those conservatives on these blogs try to make me. I believe there is a time for gradual change in many cases. I am not afraid of pushing the envelope to reach needed change like fixing health insurance and unemployment compensation. Or making groups like Historical Preservationists pay for their designations against property owners. I provoke conservatives from their comfort zones. Rush Limbaugh fears me needing his cigars and pills to calm his nerves and reduce his pain. "

" Hey EarlKrusty: Do you ever work? If you really owned a business, you wouldn't have the time to spend blogging while your business needs your attention to growing it. I wasn't required to attend anger management sessions because my actions were not out of anger. Without a court order, we used family counciling to improve communications especially with the troubled teen. We were proactive in our spproach in handling the matter. While members of the social services tried to convince the troubled teen that it wasn't her fault, we made absolutely sure she knew what she did wrong and punished her accordingly. Lying won't be tolerated when it comes to actions leading to police in our house. I made sure she paid for my paying the fine and legal fees by denying her privileges that cost money like going to movies and roller skating. CASE CLOSED! "

" Hey EarlKrusty: You were not there. You were not in court to know what happened, were you?! If I would had the money at the time, the teenager would have been required to testify and be crossed examined. Her story would have been refuted by her older sister who was an eyewitness to the whole thing. She was the victim of this teenager's tirade. Again your lack of knowledge escapes me in how you can even judge accurately off a CCAP. This is why CCAP should be closed to the general public and a court order should be obtained to prevent slamming someones character even in blogs like this. Meanwhile, I am advocating measures that will prevent parents from going through this kind of misjustice, yet prevent real child abuse. "

" EarlKrusty: You still don't know what you are talking about. Since when does a child have the right to mouth off, swear, be extremely loud where neighbors could hear her, and after being warned not once but three times to cease the behavior get disciplined? Furthermore, there was no blood, broken bone or a bruise. It was a case of teenager being upset that she went too far and was slapped once and her friends convincing the teenager that she did nothing wrong, and the school fell for her version of the story and therefore had to report the incident. If there was no mandatory arrest law, the police would have left the matter alone because the evidence was lacking. And how would know anything about anger management unless you need it yourself. "

" Open court records are good, but these are not in the spirit of the whole truth anyway. You won't civil disobedience on CCAP, just disorderly. The length of times are arbitrary, 20 years for something to stay on there. And these decicions were made after 1999, so everything before that ends up on CCAP. Maybe those cases should be grandfathered in, or maybe more people would not have settled with the prosecutor. I could go on and on. Cases that have been settled and reduced should not be on CCAP when they happened before CCAP was implemented. "

" Here is something to consider for everyone: When I was a poor 19 year old college student, I went fishing with friends while back in town. I didn't have a fishing license, and couldn't afford one. Needless to say, I got a 'fishing without a license' ticket. I was guilty. For many years after this, I've been heckled by hundreds of people at random because they searched my name for fun and saw this ticket on my record. They thought it was funny, and tease me. From my perspective, this mass social ridicule is cruel and unusual punishment for something as simple as fishing without a license. I didn't rape anyone, I didn't hurt anyone...and I am still teased to this day. Serious offenses should be on there, but not ones like fishing without a license-I'VE BEEN TARRED AND FEATHERED OVER SOMETHING LITTLE, AND IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL! "

" For the record, there is a difference between open court and open records. Not all court related items are open records, especially when it includes minors. If it is open court, anyone can attend. However, if you want a copy of the record you must pay for it. The cost should be high enough to discourage random use or abuse of such record. Divorce records are different than bankruptcy or criminal records. Being divorced isn't used for employment anymore because martial status cannot be used against a prospective employee. Court records should be treated like medical records and require the party being inquired about to grant permission or have a court order showing reason for needing such information. This goes for anyone except the person themselves who is inquiring about their own records. "

" Hey EarlKrusty: Why the need to know? I don't have any drunk driving matters and didn't soil myself. No one needs to know what everyone else has done without cause. I firmly believe that one's records aren't open for discussion here. Anyone inquiring should show need for such information whether its employers, news people, lawyers, etc. and they should pay for that information if proper cause is shown. The system only reflects being accused of anything and that's its biggest failure. The general public misuses this website and that should be repaired so that such misuse is more costly both in obtaining and such use. "

" We need to think about the totalitarian state we are on the brink of becoming. The reason we publish who was arrested and who was convicted is to prevent the kind of "disappearing" that happens all over the globe on a daily basis. We need to have open records so we know precisely who was arrested and why, who got sentenced and for what, when they are to be sentenced, where they will serve their time, and when they are to be released. It is not to embarrass but to protect. This bill would have the foxes protecting the chicken house. "

I don't have an issue with an open records law. I do think though that if you're going to look me up, then I should be able to see who is looking at me. Employers in particular should be required to register with the CCAP and identify to an applicant when they look them up. "
