It's available, but in many cases agencies are unaware that this data exists. Drawing attention to it exposes people who made life errors to outsized retribution. I'm willing to bet a dollar many cases brought by smaller agencies would've escaped limitations had they not been raised.
I'm entirely sober, always have been. I still think this one-person campaign may have ruined innocent lives. Just because people may not understand the seriousness of a repercussion doesn't mean they should fall victim to those which are unfairly onerous; most people can't process risk the way we can.
