Is this at all in line with the US Constitution? If accused, you&#x27;re supposed to be able to confront your accusers. If they&#x27;re all &quot;Officer Redacted&quot;, such a law would seem to run afoul of that provision.<p>Also, is this a good idea? What problem does it solve? Pacifying police officers who are afraid of an &quot;open season&quot; on cops? Stats don&#x27;t bear out any &quot;open season&quot;. Lots more police got shot in the 90s than are getting shot now. What price does this law have? Not getting to confront your accuser is a pretty big deal, it seems to me. If that takes place, any defendant is pretty much just dealing with vague &quot;The Authorities&quot; - no idea who to call as witnesses and so forth.<p>The only problem I can think that this solves, and it isn&#x27;t worth the cost, is that it keeps police officers from getting their names splashed all over The Internet when they do something stupid or authoritarian.
