I don't think this is as easy as we would like it to be.
If they are posting mugshots online, maybe they should also be required to post all police interaction's with the public online (including bodycam footage, etc).
Or maybe none of it should be posted online, and if you are interested in it, you have to go to the courthouse and get the record.
I think the problem really is deeper than that. I think all government actions should be public within a reasonable time.
Now we have to define reasonable time. Ughh.
- ma2rten 5y agoThat’s already the case. You can file a foia request.
- banannaise 5y agoI'm late to the party, but PDs frequently reject FOIA requests with the justification that there is an "ongoing investigation", particularly in the case of activists (since their ongoing activism is apparently considered justification for indefinite investigation).
