So I read how they get their data which is from city court systems that allow their data to be extracted programmatically. Then I wondered why dont we just put in the effort to standardize on a common data format and start making government info available across multiple levels of government. I mean most government forms could be replaced with a pretty simple html form.
Then I realized how many people would fight till their last dying breath to keep that data from coming to life to prevent the exposure of their crimes. And I don't just mean high level national officials but the thousands of county and municipal people all across the country that have their little practically harmless side graft going on.
