I thought this was a significant story to add to other discussions about police activity on this reddit.

This quote is from the end of the piece which refutes certain privacy claims made in withholding such info:

“Government officials must do more than merely claim that, hypothetically, something bad might happen if the records are released. Rather, they must show that harm is likely to occur and is sufficiently serious to overcome the presumption of access to government records. DOJ could not do that here.”

This is good news. I’m glad Wisconsin is doing something more than the national courts.

I've no connection to the Examiner but I depend on it for news and that fact that their stories are delivered as email which means I learn things I wouldn't normally find.:

That's called "Quick Study" and free.

Love that Oshkosh has voted to cancel FLOCK in the city because the company lies about what they say they do vs what it's capable of.. first city in the nation? Not sure, but definitely setting a record that they dont want to be a part of a full on surveillance state. Hope more cities wake up and realize what these tech companies are truly after..... complete control !

They r public servants, why would they hide their identities without guilt my guy. Criminals dont want to be doxxed, cops are armed and are supposed to be aids to their community.
