#2That person needs to learn not to speak without a lawyer:
“The purpose of this tweet was to find out the officer’s information, to hold him accountable.”
That can be construed as vigilantism.

Holding police accountable is not vigilantism.
The right to photograph cops at work in the US is well established. Cops don't like that, but they lose in court on that.[1]

I 100% agree with you. I wrote that because that's not what the prosecutor is going to say in court which is why she needs a lawyer since she is in legal trouble.

#6Doxxing is bad, and that’s exactly what this person was trying to do. Just because it wasn’t successful, doesn’t mean it wasn’t harassment.
Additionally, that article makes it very unclear what, if anything, the officer did to warrant being identified. He performed his duties, while wearing a face mask (which everyone is encouraged to do now) which had a pattern some people don’t like.

Asking for the name of a public employee is doxxing?

#9The most WTF part for me is the summons and the court case identifies the police officer and he would likely to get more visibility and negative coverage than the original tweet which was retweeted by grand total of 4 people. Streisand effect anyone?

Can you explain why asking to identify a police officer performing official duties should be illegal?
