    Relevant.

    Also, this is fucked in the head:

    “Ms. Dennis cannot even assert that the named officers constitute the entire subset of the JCRS who could have caused her injury,” wrote the Jefferson County Attorney’s Office.

    Martínez agreed in a Sept. 12 order, finding Dennis’ allegations were “woefully inadequate” and were made “without remotely explaining who did what to her.”

    The police literally do everything they can to avoid identifying themselves, and courts have ruled that they aren’t legally required to do so. Some departments have a “policy” where officers are asked to comply, but policy does not equal law, and they regularly flout even this. Making this a requisite for filing complaints is fucking bullshit.
