Comments on What’s up, doxx? by Pro Bono

People should be able to do their jobs without having their home addresses published.

People in a position of power should not be able to act anonymously. Anyone exercising the power of arrest should be readily identifiable, and the authorities should be ready to act on evidence that they have abused their powers.

In England, policemen have to carry ID numbers on their epaulettes. My understanding is that this is not the case in most US states: it should be.

As usual, both sides are in the wrong. But the first thing is to make ICE agents identifiable, for the limits of their powers to be clear, and for their employers to take disciplinary action against agents exceeding those limits.
