If a student shoots up a school and then tries to hide with the other kids, and the kids point him out to the police, are they doxxing the shooter?

No.

Law enforcement should act, and if they don't, we should put pressure on law enforcement using the democratic tools at our disposal.

Absolutely!

Doxxing is sharing information that can facilitate vigilante justice.

Based on that article, I’m confused because I thought getting too many speeding tickets in a short time would lead to bigger consequences up to losing your license. I don’t understand how someone could get hundreds of tickets in a year. Does New York just have very lax speeding ticket laws compared to other states?

Also the full article includes even more identifiable information, such as the actual license plates.

I think we're in agreement that the police/legal system should be clamping down on these speeders. I certainly share your confusion here re: why they're allowed to continue doing this.

But, as we're both seeing, the police aren't doing their jobs, and these guys are allowed to continue menacing our streets. This happens against a general backdrop where drivers are regularly prioritized over everyone else-- to the point that that can literally kill someone and still walk. In that environment, what are we supposed to do? I think this method -- highlighting that we're watching, that the police could stop this today by simply doing their jobs-- is one of the democratic tools at our disposal.
