Examples of doxing in a Sentence
What we have seen is some of these doxing incidents are occurring from people that are not in this city, are not in this county, are not in this region, but people in different parts of the country, maybe internationally, that see a name on a uniform and then go to work on the computer. That is inappropriate, i think it's something that should be illegal, but I also think every police officer that works as a police officer should be identified.
