Feels like some unfair downvotes, so I'll ask again.

In what other countries could one publicly shame the authorities this severely? I think that's what was meant here.

And yes, it's great.

I'd work the same in pretty much any European country, as in you'd record them, you'd publish that, they'd make up some lame excuse why that's not allowed, it'd go to a court, and a judge would decide who was right case-by-case?

Not quite sure which part of this process do you think is even remotely unique to the US.

Exactly what I meant. For example, in Germany one would have a hard time for much less.
