I hate to say it Andrew, but my feeling is that the authorities do not see the point in investing in privacy protection anymore, since they believe that nothing is private, that anything that has ever been put online (sometimes unwittingly by your average user) is accessed and made public, sometimes for a cost. When I was in the IT industry here in Israel, there was a database floating around that had complete contact information for every citizen of Israel. Though that snapshot ages (people move, die, are born, etc.), most people keep their cell-phone number. If that was running around freely, I imagine that up-to-date data can be had for a price. The horse has left the barn.
A locksmith will tell you a determined criminal can break into any home, however, this is no argument for leaving your house unlocked and stashing cash on the front lawn. Security is most often about keeping valuables well hidden. (edited for grammar)
Yes, but does such Assessor allow property owners to remove their name from the search function? In addition, please note, there are 200,000 more people in Douglas County compared to Lancaster.
And... that's a serious problem, too. There ought to be some limitations on that--especially in the age of Antifa. Do you really want them knowing where you live, Bob?

Wow! I had no idea! Thank you Andrew!
The Lancaster Co Assessor website is searchable by name or address or map, and it's been that way for a long time.

Good question.

Nope. But I'm prepared for them if they want to pay me a visit.
