It is a threat.

I'm a cop and I have been threatened by people that would curl your hair. I tell them if they want me, they can find me at work.

I also tell them if they screw with my family I will kill them. No questions asked.

Perhaps Mr. Internet Freedom should put that particular disclaimer on his website.

It is a threat.

So it's ok for cops to threaten people?

There is not a single incident," he said, "where a police officer has been harassed as a result of police-officer information being on the Internet."

Probably because hardly anybody is looking at it...but it only takes one kook to harrass some cop's wife or meddle with his SS#, and there will be hell to pay.

I agree with you. If someone has a gripe, the most they should do is put the officer's name and where he works on the net. Leave wives and kids out of this.

So, as a peace officer, you are entitle to issue threats? Hmmm.

or perhaps you should inform Mr. Internet Freedom about the privacy act of 1974. Originally passed to prevent the type of abuse that happened during the Nixon adminstration, it is largely ignored now. Clinton got a free pass with 900 FBI files. It is still the law and any piece of personal information associated with your SSN is covered in the act. You will get a copy of the law at the top of the list in a Goggle search, by typing Privacy act of 1974.

BTW it only applies to government employees. Half or better of the agencies in the U.S. are in some kind of violation. A criminal complaint filed with a U.S. court would really open a can of worms.

Good move!

A natural and universal attitude, I think.
The problem is, you will not even entertain the possibility that the rest of us are entitled to feel and to react the same way.

Most of LEOs tend to think they are a privilged class, they tell us that they are not obligated to protect us (even through court decisions), and strongly deny us the means to protect ourselves.

Now... might there be some flaw in your thinking?

Wow, what a shining example of law enforcement in this country. Thank you for your post.
