The Secret Lives of Public Officials

I can only hope this does not spread, but something tells me it will. Maybe you knew this -- I didn't, but for the last year or so, it has been illegal to post the addresses of California public officials online.

All an official has to do to stay private is ask for that privacy in writing. Why these people deserve that kind of privacy when nobody else does, I do not know. You would not be able, for example, to see if they paid their property taxes, see what property they own and so on. Property records, home ownership and other data have always been public until now.

See the law here.
