Ugh, the personal data and "snitch list" seem particularly bad to release. It does raise the question as to why this stuff is on remotely accessible servers, but still, it seems like this is just a freebie handout to identity thieves and perhaps worse for the snitch list?

When I saw the snitch list, I assumed it was a message to any would-be snitches that know anything about Lulsec.

From the release: "We have no sympathy for any of the officers or informants who may be endangered by the release of their personal information. For too long they have been using and abusing our personal information, spying on us, arresting us, beating us, and thinking that they can get away with oppressing us in secrecy. Well it's retribution time: we want them to experience just a taste of the kind of misery and suffering they inflict upon us on an everyday basis. Let this serve as a warning to would-be snitches and pigs that your leaders can no longer protect you: give up and turn on your masters now before it's too late." You must remember, despite what the police would like you to believe most "snitches" are not little old ladies reporting violent crimes. Edit: Yeah, just read through about half of these. Most of them are along the vein of "My neighbours keeps to themselves, therefore they do drugs". Fuck these people. I did get a chuckle out of "jessica bruno - knows who set fire to land excavator equipment" though. The thought of setting a bulldozer on fire absurdly amusing to me for some reason ;)

    I just calls em as I sees em. In a country where it is impossible to be innocent, those individuals who use the law against their neighbours for their own gain are the worst sort of people. Example: "A couple of years ago it was known among a few Fox community residents that Ronnie Callahan, who now owns the Fox store, was hauling in large amounts of pseudofedrine from Mexico.He has log trucks and cattle trucks and doesn't look like a dope dealer/trafficker, just looks and talks like a good ole boy. He was supplying meth cookers, don't know if he was cooking the stuff himself. No idea if he is doing this anymore, but is involved in all kinds of underhanded dealings. He constantly harasses, in very subtle ways, one of his neighbors...builds fences to block off land that isn't his. In the past no law enforcement would do anything about it when she filed complaints. He is worth watching at least. (The info about the pseudofedrine came from the brother of a young man who was on meth real bad and told where it was coming from.)" It should be pretty obvious who submitted that report... and why. Emphasis my own, in case it is not.

    I don't understand? Why is this story needing to be flagged?

      I was assuming it's because it made me resort to the dreadful horrors of profanity, but that's a good question. Why does this quotation demonstrate why these stories should be flagged?

Law enforcement officers get passes all the time for life-affecting (and even ruining) behavior, with stepping over the line being just a few bad apples or a problem of perception that is routinely flagged as "followed policy," but once civilians get even close to the line it's a first-order travesty. If civilians have to endure "you can beat the charge but you can't beat the ride" harassment from LEOs, they can get a little sketched-out once in a while. Populist actions like this are pretty much the only checks remaining on LEO behavior.
