"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The NYPD Charges A Fee To Watch Its Crimes, So The Press Sues For The Evidence
Submitted by A. Magnus on Wed, 2016-01-20 01:00
"Courtney Gross, a reporter for cable station NY1, sent a FOIL request to the NYPD last April for 190 hours of unedited body-cam footage. The police department responded by saying that it could only provide the station with redacted footage, and even that would cost them $36,000. Now the network is suing the police department in New York state court, saying that such a price was “excessive” and “effectively bars public access to information that FOIL is intended to guarantee” according to the suit filed in the Manhattan Supreme Court."
