Just Because You're Paranoid Doesn't Mean They Don't Have You On a List

Tempe, Arizona citizen Eleanor Holguin is a long-time resident and gadfly critic of Tempe's mayor and police chief.  If reports are true, she might be a little paranoid, for instance she has a security camera outside her house.  Recently her father became ill at the residence and 911 was called for medical assistance.  Police cars showed up along with the ambulance, why?  Turns out she's on a local law enforcement "HAZARD LIST."  What is a hazard list, you might ask?  Apparently it is this Orwellian listing of addresses deemed by the authorities to present a hazard to law enforcement who might find themselves responding to a call at the location.  And, get this...you can't find out why you're on the list.  Huh?

Thing is,this is not just an invention of Tempe, Arizona--this system is in use nationwide.  It is designed to provide safety forces with informtaion about addresses where they might encounter dangerous situations based on--well, who knows?! 

In Mrs. Holguin's case there is no known reason apart from the fact that she is an outspoken critic of local government, particularly the chief of police, according to The Arisona Republic.  To her credit, and the credit of the Tempe police they sat down with her and hashed out the situation and she was removed from the "Hazard List."  Paranoia strikes deep, the question is:  who's paranoid Mrs. Holguin or the cops.  If you're reading this or you've read any of the posts, here at Bad Lawyer, you know where I'm putting my money.

  2. "Recently her father became at the residence"

    Should "became" be "was"?
