Convicted meth users published on web

Donna Leinwand USA Today reports: States frustrated with the growth of toxic methamphetamine labs are creating Internet registries to publicize the names of people convicted of making or selling meth, the cheap and highly addictive stimulant plaguing communities across the nation.

The registries — similar to the sex-offender registries operated by every state — have been approved within the past 18 months in Tennessee, Minnesota and Illinois. Meth-offender registries are being considered in Georgia, Maine, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Washington state and.... Oregon.
