    But if you’re “arresting” a protester haven’t they become a defacto suspect?

    Yes, if you’re detained or arrested, you have the right to know the name and badge number of the person detaining or arresting you.

    The videos I’ve seen aren’t that, they’re merely protesters asking on behalf of someone else. If there is a video where it’s clear that someone being detained or arrested by police isn’t given that information, then I’d be very interested because that would be a pretty clear-cut 4th amendment violation.

    All other law enforcment in america is maskless

    SWAT wears masks.

      Sure but we’d need an unedited clip from the streets to the jail cell to prove they weren’t provided that information. Plus how long after the arrest do they have?

      Seizing people off the street without an arrest warrant or probable cause is already a clear-cut 4th amendment violation. What do you do with that?
