During the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle, while news crews followed Anarchist Agent Provocateurs in real time reporting their location, the police were busy using peaceful protesters for target practice claiming they could not find the vandals.


The only reason a police officer would tape over their badge number is because they are contemplating doing something wrong. Any police officer whose id number is covered should be fired. (in case it is not clear the sentence ended in PERIOD)
