Sheriff's website showing PHP code, preferential treatment for county employees?

Going through the code I found it interesting that there's a conditional in there that compares the inmate occupation to nearly half a dozen county positions (SHERIFF, JUDGE, PROSECUTOR, FIREMAN, etc.,), if the occupation matches any of those, then the script refuses to show the mugshot of the inmate. I wonder about the legality of that. You or I get arrested (not convicted, just arrested), our mugshots are posted for everyone to see. Doesn't seem fair.

This is a great example of a political who most likely gave the contract for the web site to a company who would in return give him a cut of the profits.

Why shouldn&#x27;t the code for all government websites be public? This sort of thing should not be revealed only through a bug.<p>Not a panacea as they could run different code, and nobody might look at the published code. But those don&#x27;t seem like reasons to not default to public code for public agencies.
