I was going to make a very similar statement, especially in response to this part:
Though a satisfying response to pests who want to disrupt services, incur costs or harass workers, it would surely be cheaper and more ethical to just provide any relevant public records addressed by the request and deal with the problem when it actually happens.
Dealing with “the problem when it actually happens” is a day late and dollar short if “the problem” is “we made it easier for some sov cit knob to commit a violent offense, and they obliged.”
