The order specifically states that posting ANY of the following would be a felony:
1. First and last name;
2. Social Security number or other government-issued identifier;
3. Date of birth;
4. Home or physical address, including any second or vacation address, property tax or property ownership records, or directions to or identifying photographs of any primary, secondary, or vacation residence;
5. Birth and marriage records;
6. Vehicle registration;
7. Photographs of any vehicle, including photographs of any license plates, vehicle registration, or VIN numbers;
8. Identification of any children of the individual under the age of eighteen (18);
9. Electronic mail address, or other personal e-mail addresses;
10. Home, personal mobile, or direct telephone number to the individual;
11. Financial account number or credit or debit card number;
12. Biometric, health, or medical data, or insurance information; or
13. School, day care, or employment locations.
I understand the reasoning, protecting government officials from mad mobs. Names should be fine, addresses maybe not. But then it should apply to everyone. What if I accidentally post someone's address not knowing they are a "protected" person?
- better handing of personal information of everyone, on the premise it might be a law enforcement officer
- organized crime cannot erase witnesses (and of course lesser things like intimidation)
...otherwise let’s go ahead and give them masks.
Surely you are trolling? Plenty of evidence of plenty of police doing things that warrant civilian complaints that were never intended to be documented in the form of a citation by a police officer.

I need the officer's info to put something on that form in the first place. Plus, it takes 5 seconds for a cop to introduce himself.
I'm really happy all your encounters have been flawless. So have mine. However recording is free, neither side has anything to lose, and has all the benefits in case of a lawsuit or formal complaint.
