Subject: UK Privacy - police blogger exposed by the Times
A serving detective whose anonymous blog carried criticisms of government ministers and police bureaucracy has been disciplined by his force.
The action, by Lancashire Constabulary, follows the exposure of the blogger "Night Jack" by the Times newspaper.
He was unmasked after the High Court rejected his plea that his anonymity be preserved "in the public interest".
Again the judge is The Hon. Mr Justice Eady (referred to in the UK libel thread)

Having noticed his name last week I saw that the judge has ruled on the other side of the privacy fence in the past
