A new free web based solution for tracking down sex offenders just released. Just type in your address and it searches your states sexual offender database and maps them via Live Maps. The service is called Vision 20/20.
Users simply add their address, city and/ or zip code to the Vision 20/20 site, and then the locations of sex offenders in the immediate vicinity are displayed over a map. Clicking on each sex offender leads to a profile which includes the name, address, and crimes of the sex offender, as well as a mug shot.

It does seem like a rather logical use for a maps mashup, and it functions well. According to Vision 20/20’s publicity there is 650,000 registered sex offenders in the United States, now everyone can find out where they live.

I really think this a must have bookmark for everyone and anyone. Sex offenders are the scum of the world, and all parents should know if you have a sex offender living near you.

Check this service out. I give it two thumbs up!

Here is an example of who is by me….
