Lights & Sirens

The News Tribune's Lights & Sirens blog provides breaking news, updates on on-going investigations and insights into other news from the Tacoma, Pierce County and South Puget Sound criminal justice community. It also gives The News Tribune an avenue to interact with readers, answer “What was that?” questions and provides a venue for readers to ask about on-going criminal justice issues and problems in their neighborhoods. The blog aims to inform, educate and, at times, entertain with weird or wacky crime news.

Oh the things people search for
Posted by Ian Demsky @ 06:45:38 pm

There's a section of our blog software that allows us to see what search terms are bringing visitors to our site from places like google.

I check it about once a week and am frequently surprised at some of the results. It's pretty obvious that some people are looking for stuff they shouldn't be looking for, while others don't really know how search engines work. And then there's the people where you wonder, how could you possibly think we had what you were looking for?

Here are some examples:

* defense of possession of child pornography
* lights and sirens bar and grill
* used police lights and sirens for sale
* how to find out the profile and comments of all the public defenders in the tacoma, washington area
* see threw bikini
* tacoma doctors who prescribe methadone
* graphic videos and stories of animal and child abuse
* Minor boys spanked nude for videotaping
* is cab driving dangerous
* free sex in puyallup
* Do police officers give infractions for possession of marijuana by minors in wa state?
* black sirens area 51

And those are just from this weekend...
