A new website exists (Beta) which allows persons to rate individual police officers.
The site is: www.ratemycop.com
Olympia is listed.
Police in general are not happy.
See this story:

Of course, the 1st Admendment should trump any challenge to the posting of publicly available information concerning those that protect and serve. If they are good officers then they should have nothing to hide.

It doesn't seem overly offensive to me, provided no personal information is posted. Address, phone # etc.

This is a farce! All you need to be a qualified rater is a username and password. Registration is free and requires nothing substantial to gain access. It's a sad attempt at discrediting police.
Any site like this worth-a-crap wouldn't need an indemnification clause.
My 2 cents.
I agree
Submitted by security_six on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 2:59pm.That's why I found it amusing at best. Too easy for one person with a grudge to get on there and do what he/she/it felt like. No real world application.

Beta...
Submitted by fantum on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 3:38pm.Yeah, Beta
Submitted by Ehver Green on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 4:05pm.Do you understand what Beta means in the software/web services world? It means the product is code complete and about to be released unless these guys have a different take on Beta.
Nice try, though! =)
Open vs closed?

Submitted by The Fire Inside on Mon, 03/10/2008 - 8:02pm.The whole thing is open to abuse, which is why I compared it to RateMyProfessors.com. It's nothing more than entertainment.
One side of the potential abuse has already been pointed out, but it's also open to officers saying they're the greatest person since Jesus.
If anything, it's just funny to go and read the comments for a good laugh.
