Updated the description with a better article from Ars Technica. While I'm here, my 2c on this:

I love the idea, but I realize that there will be problems with abuse. The biggest problem I see is false reviews, since it's really a "your word vs. mine" situation. Proper administration can deal with the most obvious trolls, but I don't know what could be done against a made-up post along the lines of "X was rude to me".

What I really don't like, however, is that the police are making such strong claims against the service, like "The FOP opposes any release of information that places officers' lives in danger. ... We are very familiar with the first amendment and defend it vigorously but we also believe that officer safety must trump the public's right to know." I don't see how this is anything but FUD - ratemycop.com only lists the cops' names, which are already publicly available. This has nothing to do with "officer safety".

The fop would have won if he hadn't wasted his opportunity by being cocky. Alas, such is the fate of many villains.

...or like giving a computer keyboard and internet access to some fop pretending to be a television personality....

metrosexual fop.

lol...definitely FoP.

I love a good fop reaction! Assault with a banana is a nice touch, too!
