Details online reveal who 'snitched' on lockdown rule-breakers

Citizens of the state of Missouri were encouraged to go online and report anyone they saw breaking social distancing rules. Looks like they didn't get the memo or at least read that fine print concerning the Sunshine Law. The Sunshine Law allows for the release of information submitted to a public agency, and the media wanted that information. So, more than 900 names and addresses of people who made reports are published online. And someone helped the info spread further by posting this on a Facebook group: "Here ya go. The gallery of snitches, busybodies, and employees who rat out their own neighbors and employers over the Panic-demic."

The complaints resulted in 29 businesses receiving citations and now people are worried they may get fired as a result of reporting the company they work for, and retaliation from the streets as well.
