The Criminals Win
West Boca News has decided we will no longer cover arrests. We have experienced too much harassment and we see a sentiment in at least part of the community that reporting on arrests is more offensive than committing crimes. Crime reporting has become a much smaller part of what we do anyway.
Fortunately for those who want to follow crime news, there are other sources. Our friends at Boca News Now cover some crime stories. And there’s a website that seems to report every arrest: Boca Busted, with a very active Facebook page. We have been using that as a resource for several months.
Other useful resources include the Sheriff’s blotter, Palm Beach court records, Broward court records, and Miami-Dade court records.
From now on we will focus on other areas that have been getting more response from our readers.
