Lemme explain it to you
"First, no subpeona needed?" MySpace is a public forum, not a personal diary or conversation. That would be akin to trying to say the police needed a search warrant or subpoena to find out who wrote a newspaper article.

"Second, never a chance of mislabling someone as a sex offender?" The records requested are only for convicted sex offenders, not suspects. Because of prior convictions and the extreme chance of re-offending, sex offenders don't need to be placing themselves in target-rich environments such as MySpace. That's why there are laws on the books against them living close to schools and libraries.

I'm usually a loud advocate of privacy laws, but they don't apply here, for the reasons given above. That, and because their victim is too often a child.
