I can see making their tag info unavailable to the public (as all tag
info should be) but do they really think that a cop would use that
info to go after another cop?

Sure they would. I know a guy who used to work as an investigator in a
special unit in the state attorney general's office that investigates
allegations against law enforcement officers. Most of the cases were
allegations of abuse against their own children, leveled when they were
splitting up with the spouse (big surprise).

Everyone working there had to have all of their mail delivered to the
office, kept their home address off of everything - from checking accounts
to magazine subscriptions. People going through divorces, allegations (in
some cases, true) of molesting their own kids - oh yeah, emotions run high
is putting it mildly. Though this guy didn't personally experience it,
others had cops go all stalker on them.

It's also why larger departments monitor license plate checks and other
record runs - to see if an officer is, say, just running the plate of
anybody attractive and using the info to try and get a date, or something
else wrong.

If you believe that, why do you continue to want more government
control?

Answer: You're a ****ing idiot.
