I think the point isn’t the ruling but more so it’s the message the cops are sending to everyone else who might do similar things in the future. Imagine the intimidation knowing police officers are battling you in court, you know, those people who work for the same city that the entire courthouse staff does, who they see all the time as part of their jobs, and have long standing mutually “protect our own” relationships with. Cops work in the public. If the cop was charged with beating his wife or even just had the cops called (how would calling the cops on a cop work when they are coworkers?), that would also be public. There’s no invasion of privacy then. If it’s not true, it’s libel not invasion of privacy.
