a while back I created www.bartcrimes.com to publish police reports which were intentionally hidden behind a mailing list you must get approved to be a member of. Turns out, the public loves this kind of thing.


That's cool but why are the most recent entries from Sept 2021? Did BART do something even more effective to stop these updates from getting out?
