The World Wide Web just got a little more worldly.
In the last 24 hours, Virginia has posted 46- hundred violent sex offenders on a website for public viewing.
It's even a searchable database that allows you to hunt by zip code, surrounding zip codes, county, city, and name.

It's a new way to find out who lives and works among us.

Ellen Qualls got a demo from the Virginia State Police today.
She joins us from our Richmond newsroom.

[SUPER=05-Richmond;]

Keith, first a warning.
What might start out as sort of a matter of curiosity can quickly become a little disturbing.
We discovered, for instance, in a search of Roanoke addresses, 120 violent sex criminals turned up.
Lynchburg lists 41.
Danville lists 28.
But keep in mind, no matter what address is listed, MOST of these people are still in prison.

(( So what does a violent sexual predator look like?
Some you'd expect.
Some you may not.
Whatever the quality of the pictures, they are all recent.
And while State Police don't guarantee accuracy, the names, addresses, and offenses are a starting point for the public to protect itself a little better.

((DEL. CREIGH DEEDS/D-WARM SPRINGS: SOME PEOPLE ARGUE WELL IF THEY'VE PAID THEIR PRICE TO SOCIETY, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE.

[runs= :23]

Creigh Deeds sponsored the bill.
And the fear of policy makers like him is that publicly posting such heinous crimes might encourage a lynch mob mentality.
[sot TAPE TWO 10:40:37]
((COL. WAYNE HUGGINS/VIRGINIA STATE POLICE: I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT. I THINK WE AS VIRGINIANS ARE MORE CIVILIZED THAN THAT. THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE PUT THE WARNINGS.))

We have new information tonight about yesterday's accident that critically injured a construction worker.
(----------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Montgomery Co./Yesterday;]

37- year old Wesley Burford fell about 45 feet inside a concrete pillar that will support a bridge for the "Smart Road".
A Sheriff's department report states that Burford WAS wearing a safety harness but that the rope broke.
A spokesman for the construction company says that's NOT true.
He says they still do NOT know what happened but are certain the rope holding him did NOT break.
And that the Virginia Occupational and Health Safety office is looking into whether his harness was working properly.
OSHA would not comment on the investigation.
