Line 13: * Geocoding new addresses for a street that is not yet added to the GIS database. Also, while there might be 742 Evergreen Terrace in Springfield, there might also be a 742 Evergreen Terrace in Shelbyville. Using the zip code, or other zone attribute, along with the address, allows geocoding to match an address (742 Evergreen Terrace) to a street in a particular town (Springfield), distinguishing it from all other 742 Evergreen Terrace addresses in other towns. In some situations, such as mapping the address of a crime incident, privacy concerns are raised as law enforcement agencies aim to balance the privacy rights of victims and offenders, with the public's right to know. Law enforcement agencies have experimented with alternative geocoding techniques that allow them to mask some of the locational detail. As well, in providing online [[crime mapping]] to the public, they also place disclaimers regarding the locational accuracy of points on the map, acknowledging these ___location masking techniques, and impose terms of use for the information.
