Officer Louis Civello urged New York to pass an anti-doxxing law protecting officers’ privacy.
Civello said a protester arrested in early 2026 located his address and parked a billboard truck outside his home.
He noted no existing law bans standing on officers’ driveways or publishing their home addresses.
Civello warned that New York’s privacy statutes for law-enforcement personnel are inadequate and may deteriorate.
