Specifically: "protesting" the actions of BART police by releasing the personal info of BART customers who have an account with BART. I am one of those, and I can't say I felt very good about it.

So I'm happy when "they" do something cool, but I hope there is some solid outside confirmation of this person's identity before anything happens to him. If they have the right man, he won't get any sympathy from me!
