Newspaper Publishes Gun Owners’ Names and Addresses

44. Vehicle registration information is not public record. Deed titles are.

The sales prices of a home (or rather the last recorded sales price) is not only available from the county assessor's office, you can often get it from private real estate companies, like redfin.com... and that is because... yes- it is public record and that's why the real estate companies have access to it.

I know there are processes... and the details are often referred to under the umbrella-term of "public records request". Once someone gets that information, however, they can do with it as they like because... it is public information and therefore not subject to any privacy strictures/controls. Thus they can, if they'd like, print it in a newspaper... or, they can hire a plane and display it in a skybanner if they'd like.

The question isn't, as I understood it, which office was waited in in order to make the request, nor which city or county clerk collected the information... but whether or not the information ought to be published- yes?

If it is public record... it can be published freely.
