What a sick app. Spend some money on reintegration and greatly reduce risks. But hey, we can instead waste time and resources to organize the massive harassment, which this app stands for. It might result in more crime, this time against the former offenders. But at least we have an idea WHERE the increase will occur.

Your inaccurate positions of your pins don’t warn of felons in the area they just tell witch hunters group of houses to aim for innocent or not
