free staters now posting police officers address and phone numbers (Keene: crime, home)

Presumably these free-stater creeps are aware of NH law which allows the use of deadly force if they are on your property? I see no reason not to blow them away - a few less jerks in the state would be a good thing.

What makes you think they are free staters

It's in your town's annual report. Go to your city or town hall and pick one up. They are free.

Salary is one thing as the citizens have a right to know where their money is going.

Personal information on .gov employees is another.

I have no doubt there's two sides to this story. We're only getting the cops' side. Furthermore, given it is the police complaining, I have no doubt that if the free staters actually did something illegal, they'd have been arrested or charged, and we'd be reading about it in a news article. This sounds like whining over probably a non-event. Quite frankly, I don't trust anything cops say anymore, I've seen too much of their corruption, lying and abuse of people. Like them or not, the free staters have revealed some towns' police abuse of, for example, open carriers. The cops have themselves to blame for that negative publicity and the lawsuits. They merely had to uphold the law as they're supposed to.

This information is publicly available. If you work for the government, you should simply assume your home address will never be fully private. It is what it is.

I was speaking with a senior Republican member of the NH House a couple of days ago and he was very distressed with the "Free State" legislators. I believe him when he states they do not want any government at all and are doing anything they can to thwart both the Republicans and Democrats in our legislature. IMHO – If any citizen, state or city employee is injured at home because of publishing their home address then the leaders as well as those free staters directly responsible for the damage be prosecuted by the law.

If you want a decent Representative Government I as k you to identify ALL the free staters and their supporters and VOTE THEM OUT OF OUR LEGISLATURE IN NOVEMBER!

Also, do any of you people understand that people who get paid by "taxes" also pay taxes themselves?? Not saying you said this specifically, but I get tired of people thinking they freaking OWN me because I work for the city. Because you DONT! Every darn person I know who works for the city pays the same da-mn taxes anybody else does! Do you understand that?? People-who-get-paid-with-taxes-pay-taxes-themselves-just-like-everyone-else!!!!!!! Yeah..we get to help pay our own salary. Nice, eh? So I dont want to hear that song and dance about taxes.

Please re-read my post...I was in agreement with the OP that this is wrong and should be stopped.

Exactly!

These free state people are crackpots. About in the same league as OWS except they've been smoking BAD weed.

Whoosh.... First amendment right out the window. People think they are so anonymous on the web. Gives me a good chuckle. Want to see a picture of your residence? (I would never, ever, ever violate anyone's privacy here, of course, for any reason whatsoever...)

Mine in red, as usual.
