The whole idea behind name badge is it makes the officer appears more approachable and friendly in a normal regular encounter with citizen, but we are living in 2020.
Keyword: normal regular encounter
I wonder because one of the things about me is my stance. As someone once told me, "Last night at the party, even relaxed against the wall, there is certain prowess to you.". It is quite as the lines go, "those who feel me near, close their blinds and change their minds".
Further, even in the years afterwards, people react to me as if I'm police or a ranger........and there have been quite a number who have suddenly turned and gone the other direction.

Just saying our society kind of built up to this with unchecked brutality. Now the police need to protect themselves from an angry society and their only response is more brutality (as we’ve seen earlier this year).
There is no justification for targeting their fams.
Just an explanation for how we got here.
What time warp did you step out of?
It's been like that for decades of where's one family is a target; I suppose the only difference might be is that now the public realizes it.
Excellent news. Cops are under threat from Antifa and BLM. One of my wife's friends in Rochester NY has been threatened. They listed his name, address, wife,kids and where they play soccer. If you do not think this has gotten real than you are crazy!
A few of my coworkers from CBP and ICE have been doxed by pro-illegal immigrant right groups /leftists since 2018. Many of my coworkers had to move and changed to new address for the safety of their families. Local cops are just late to the game
It's just common sense. Someone filing a legitimate complaint can get a badge number and go down to file an official complaint. Terrorists and mobs get someone's name in order to target someone and their family just for doing their job. They want a name so they can find their home address, family members, phone numbers, etc.
I'm sure there's people against protecting police officers or their families. It'll be these same people, much like the Minneapolis City Council, that will wonder why nobody wants to join the police force and why violent crime is out of control.
I'm not sure how their is any less accountability. Police officers can still be held accountable for their actions even when their name is not printed on their uniform. It just puts a small barrier up to violent mobs terrorizing an officer or their family.
That’s not really how it works. You remember words as a bunch but random jibberish as individual characters. Which is why Callahnan would read Callahan to most people. That’s why typos are generally still readable.
674368 is gibberish. And unless someone writes it down they will never remember it. They would remember “Jacobs”

What's wrong with writing it down?
In my car, there is a green log book, to be used in case of accidents. When the Forester got rear ended near the turn of this century, I wrote down all the information I could to include the officer's badge number. When I was talking with an insurance agent a few days later, he complimented me of the throughness of my information, something he didn't usually come across.
A, B, and C. A: It's how I've been trained to do things, to take notes. B: In stressful situations, it calms me down. C: it may have a benefit. In an office shooter training scenario, the odds are that if anyone is left behind with the shooter, it will be me. In such a scenario, if I was the hostage, I would be asking him if I could take notes, noted as above it is my way to calm down but there can be another thing to it as well. It may calm him down because now someone is actually listening to him. Just a tidbit.

That’s if the officer lets you.
But I guess you can just take a picture of their badge...

I'm from Buffalo - these cops have been harassed, had people come to their house, protestors have blown up pics of their families and put them on signs that they carry during a protest ect.. No one should feel threatened by these people.
