    Yeah, after millions pumped into the Irish one all we'd probably get was.............. "We are sorry but we don't have crime at this zoom level for this region".

    Weird I was gonna post this as a suggestion before...we get see on google maps or something, just what crimes are reported in an area and where they happened. But more importantly, when someone is convicted of a crime, their nam,e mugshot and address (or street name) is also tagged on the scene of the crime and at their home address. Lets get some visibilty on these fekkers..

    It's a good idea but the information would also be available to rival gangs of criminals, can you imagine the amount of tit-for-tat attacks? I think it would lead to an increase in crime.

    I would suggest that this information is already available though court records, this would just give the public proper visibility on it. and if its gang related the scummers already know. Same with crime figures, let joe soap see how the garda and judicial system are doing in their neighborhood

    Plus imagine if you have multiple convictions for drink driving, battering the better half or the like. The neighbours/job/friends will now that you're a toe rag..might make people think twice
