As far as I can tell, no private information was published. A photo of her being a despicable human being was published with her license plate number. It's the least that should happen. More importantly, should she ever be involved in a cyclist vs. auto incident, the cyclist (or his/her family should it be fatal) now has a record of a pattern of behavior. This is particularly important in states where laws of 'contributory negligence' are still in effect. This pattern of behavior makes it much more likely that she will be vulnerable (in a good way) to guilt based on a pattern of animosity toward cyclists. I say string her up.
I agree this driver should be charged with breaking the law. However, based on the articles written there should also be some criminal charges on the individuals that ran her tags and made her private information public. It's our duty as citizens to report the bad people who break the law. But that is where it ends. Once people use their jobs as a way to publicly hurt someone ( cyclists, off duty officers ) then they are changing the rules for everyone. This makes for a dangerous environment for the guilty and the innocent.
How incredibly rude and disrespectful! A horrible, disgusting person. How uncaring does a person have to be, that they'd purposely block a bike lane and endanger human life? This woman should be arrested.
This woman needs to be held accountable for her actions. At the very least, she should be sited for breaking traffic laws by riding in the bicycle lane and for vulgar behavior in public.
