Because some protesters will use that information to go to the homes of police officers and continue their vandalism there.

Just like police will use that information to go to the homes of protestors and continue their brutality there.

Of course. But there is no way to stop a mob or even identify who they are. Recording them won't help.

A mob follows no rules and some try to blind police officers using lasers. Or they can simply harass somebody for days on end.

No one ever won a lawsuit against a mob.
