I can see civil litigation -- although i do not see how it may be successful.

I also see where allowing criminal charges where someone, anyone, reports suspicious activity would be very chilling to law enforcement, the public, elected officials, etc. -- particularly to those who may have a duty or mandate to report.

I am sure that there are enough liberal lawyers -- maybe not Michael Avenatti right now -- who will step forward to aid anyone who does not have the ability to defendant a civil action.
