A man who rented a room at the same house a sex offender rented at was mistaken for a sex offender and was visited several times by police and federal agents. The worst of it is that the whole thing that got the ball rolling was a mother in the neighborhood was somehow able to track his license plate back to his address and "turned him in", albeit erroneously, and when he asked the police what he can do to make this better, their only suggestion was "Move away".
What the fuck? So that's what's going to happen from now on? Someone buys a house from a convicted sex offender or rents in the same building and they get the stigma by proxy?
Come on. That's just stupid.
