Exactly, they can't actually be doxxed because their identites should be public anyway

It’s also not doxxing unless anyone that gives out their name is considered doxxing. Now if they list their home addresses, personal vehicle plates and family members names then that’s doxxing. The people just want them to have identification such as a name tag and a badge number just like the police.

To be fair, the photo shows their address. That part is don't agree with. But their name and face? Shouldn't be hidden.

Address records are public.

If you own the home anyone can walk into city hall and verify the deeds you own.

Additionally, most of these guys are probably in the white pages. This is less doxxing and more making already publicly available info more available. Phonebooks still exist.

Yes. They are. We agree. Many people will not take the steps needed to gain that information. But putting it on a website freely gives access. To someone who could take impulsive action.

Are there phone books everywhere?
