This is a pretty big violation of privacy, especially for people who's criminal records have been expunged.

It could satisfy some people's curiosity or if they are a lawyer, they could save a few grand on PACER, but for everyone else this is a privacy disaster.

I hope you take this down eventually.

You don't need to be a lawyer to get a PACER account. I'm a felon, I have a pacer account.

Hard agree, it feels like an invasion of privacy in line with the cancerous people search/background search websites that make available everything from your home address and phone number to your pets name.
