Hackers leak cop manuals for departments after breaching major provider

Here in the UK all this stuff is helpfully already public (hence no need for private middlemen)

Ditto NSW in Australia (but not all states).

Correction QLD publishes, NSW has bits and pieces due to FOI requests.

As an outsider (not living in the US), it is kind of weird that the US army manuals are public [0], and the police ones are private.

The website is absolutely awful to use on mobile, archived here for sanity: https://archive.is/qdSIr

Its also horrible on desktop. The content is literally a 15% area on the very left and most of the space is blank (or probably full of ads that are on multiple layers blocked on my client)

Most of this stuff is available through right to know laws depending on the state.

Yes, but you have to submit a request to every single one of those places. And then they have to review and redact them. I've had these policies denied in public records requests because the 800 page document would take many hours of review to complete. Had to submit the requests in piecemeal and it was very time consuming for me and the agency. That's just for one place.
