Not only is private information going public via the web, but now websites are even making games out of it! PickthePerp.com is a website that gives you access to criminals’ mug shots and the crimes they have committed, something similar to the Tampa Bay arrests site we saw last week in class. But that’s not all. You gain this knowledge by playing a matching game, coinciding the criminal’s picture to the crime they committed. The player is given a line up of criminals and asked a question such as “Who was charged with Violation of Parole?”. You then guess which of the criminals listed matches that crime and receive your answer accordingly. Not only is this an invasion of privacy, but a mockery at that. It may be entertaining, but for these criminals it is also extremely embarrassing.
