I would love to hear what has you concerned about a tool which provides a piece of information which is, by law (California Penal Code Section 830.10), supposed to be accessible to all individuals interacting with the officer - their name and/or badge number.

    The concern was the lack of knowledge that this was public. I noticed it's in the article, I may have read over it

    Even if an officer's name and badge number were not public (which would be weird, because both of these are a part of a police officer's uniform), what is the concern about a tool which provides these?

    It would make it easier for these people to be harassed, or worse. Privacy is important

    You believe that a police officer, who is doing public actions, in a public role, should be given privacy while performing public actions? Say more

    Yes and no. They're still humans. They should be held accountable, but they should also have the privacy to live their lives.

    It's not a simple black and white situation. There's more nuance here
