we need to balance a public servant's individual right to privacy

Except we don't, and that's a resolution backed by the Supreme Court. There is no expectation of privacy in public.

If they're being stalked or harassed that's a different story. Committing those crimes would get you kicked out of a public building or land you a Restraining Order. Either way, this is a poor excuse.
