You realize it is perfectly legal to take pictures of anyone in public. Law enforcement or not.
What I am getting at is the use of said information to harass and disrupt the lives of those uninvolved or to jeopardize personal safety.
Sure you can hide behind the, "we just release the info, what someone else does with that is beyond our control"... but you and I both now that's a load of crap.
