The police yes, but he is speaking about a convicted criminal that want revenge when he get out of jail. Or even without getting out of jail, sending some of his accomplices to do the job.
I’m a librarian. I also work with members of the public, some of whom do not share my understanding of reality. My information is still public because I’m a government employee.
Why the fuck would it need to be public? Especially in a country like the US where most of the annual reports of companies aren’t public where people can actually benefit form.
If you work for a company that company is responsible for the actions you take while working there. If you discriminate somebody in the library it is your library which is being targeted and then they will target you as well.
At least that’s now it generally works in the world, variations can exist depending on the area you live in.
No they don’t need to know who is working where. The public just needs to know where the money goes through. Annual reports of a lot more companies should be public.
It’s a public servants thing–the public wants to know what they’re paying for, so public servant salary records are public.
Various websites compile this information from the various state and federal sources. It’s wicked easy to find information on, say, every public servant with the title “librarian” in Fake County, Kentucky.
Knowing their full name, you can look up their home ownership records in the county real estate or tax databases and ta-da, you know where they live. You also know if they work part-time at a different public library, so that’s convenient for stalking purposes.
Edit: not that I think it’s a good thing. It’s creepy as all get out. If we have to post salaries, I’d much rather they be anonymized like on Glassdoor.
Edit2: and these lists do get used for political ickiness. There’s an anti-union group that mails out helpful tips on how to save money–leave your union. They even provide a “I want to leave” postcard addressed to your union leadership for you to sign, pre-filled-in with your info.
You don’t need to know who works at the library, you need to know the financial statements of the company together with the base on which the salary is based on.
It always baffles me when I try to find annual reports of American companies and they are just not made public unless they are public. But for things like non-profits, or government owned companies it is especially important as well. Sadly it is easy to get a non-profit in the US, so people abuse that. Becoming a CPA in the US is also very easy compared to at least NL.
Privacy doesn’t exist in the US unless we are talking about companies.
I think that’s something they have, yeah. It’s kind of unheard of to me. I can only imagine public servants like librarians or library assistants getting stalked, harassed, etc because their info is publicly available for anyone to access.
That’s a fair concern to a degree of course even the most fair sentences might have a disgruntled person on the other end of it but a fair justice system that serves and protects its community equally has little to fear overall. When a justice system is unfair, unequal, does not serve or protects its community that risk goes way up however they only have themselves to blame for the increased risk. An occasional crazy is just the price of being a human but if the public in general is against you, you’ve done that to yourself through your own actions
Because criminals get out of jail and can go after their families. We had someone leave a bomb on the doorstep of a judge in our neighborhood.
Am I the only one who thinks police should be held to a higher standard of accountabilities?
The police yes, but he is speaking about a convicted criminal that want revenge when he get out of jail. Or even without getting out of jail, sending some of his accomplices to do the job.

Why would a librarians info need to be public? Does America require a public database of public servants?
No they don’t need to know who is working where. The public just needs to know where the money goes through. Annual reports of a lot more companies should be public.

That really sucks. But a lot of innocent people have the police break into their homes and murder them so it balances out.
Ahh yes of course, two wrongs have always made a right /s
It’s not about being right anymore, that’s never going to happen.
Such a shame. Anyway, I guess we’ll have to live with the consequences of technology.

There is resistance everywhere, but LA was a special target for the GOP. They are gearing up to make Chicago just as hot here soon.
I wasn’t expecting crims to go after their own families, but I’m here for it….
Was the judge a dick head?
If I remember correctly they were convicted of embezzlement. Narcissists and psychopaths get mad when they are held accountable.
