Police Director Sues for Blogger’s Real Name

It just never stops does it? The Memphis Police Director is suing AOL to compel them to “produce all information related to the identity of an e-mail address” of a blogger at a website known for being very critical of the department.

What I would like to know is what he plans on doing with this information should he actually receive it (which I’m sure he won’t). Is he going to go kick the guys door down and beat him up for talking bad about him? Boo flippin hoo…the fact is anybody can say anything they want in this country without the fear of being punished for it. Of course, intentional defamation is another story ,but you have to prove that the person knew it was a lie.

Here is the article.
