I posted about this issue or commented on it when it originally happened in 2020. Glad to see it turned out this way. I think my opinion of the officer's actions has changed as well. I think this is very true, ""While Defendants in this case may have believed their actions served the greater good, that belief cannot insulate them. Demanding a 16-year-old remove protected speech from her Instagram account is a First Amendment violation." I think it was initially done with the greater good in mind, which the officer was trying to take into account. The tactics were not acceptable.
