    1. Which part? The fact that they’re putting people’s private business out there before being found guilty or the amount of arrests reported?

      I wonder how they “select” the incidents that get reported?

      1. Being arrested by law enforcement is not anyone’s “private business.” I don’t post entries such as “Caller to headquarters reported bank fraud” or “Caller to headquarters reported being harassed in a text message” or traffic stops that don’t involve allegations of DWI or other serious offenses. It goes without saying that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. But we don’t have “secret police” in the U.S. and we feel it should be reported who police officers are detaining, and for what reasons.

  1. So then, will we ever see the resolution of these arrests, or is that too hard to compile, or not interesting enough? The resolutions happen in public also.

    Another question people might have is why do we never see the Cold Spring or Philipstown blotter?

    What you say you leave out doesn’t make sense — there are several items in the blotter that don’t involve arrests, just look at the current issue. Did you mean something else?
