If law enforcement is anywhere close to how interested they were in digging through posted photos/video as they were at other times recently, a lot of them will probably wish they'd been censored before the evidence got archived.

The difference is during the BLM/ANTIFA riots, people were doing much more serious stuff. One kid got bagged because he threw a pipe bomb over the fence at federal agents (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm_lZxmPxUU) and another one where a guy hit federal agents with a hammer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7vlKbR3Gcs). There was another situation where some lawyers (not kidding) threw a Molotov cocktail into a police car that had police actually in it.

And police did use images to track down people who did none of those things.

They were prosecuted.
