• W778366890 abstract "I. INTRODUCTION A federal lawsuit filed against the city of Columbia, Missouri, alleging police brutality seemed destined for headlines in 2010. (1) At its core was an incident in which a routine traffic stop for a broken taillight erupted into a fracas in which police allegedly both tased and beat a man and threw a woman to the ground. (2) A Columbia Daily Tribune reporter following the case filed a public records request for any documents concerning the incident. (3) A police spokesperson contacted him days later to let him know the records were ready for pickup. (4) But when the reporter came for the he was in for quite a surprise: The Columbia Police Officers Association, aware of the public records request, had filed a temporary restraining order preventing the release of the records. (5) At first glance, the law on the matter seemed fairly clear, but, as the paper would soon find out, appearances can be deceiving. Though the applicable law was easily identified--the city had adopted an open record ordinance a few months earlier--the language in the ordinance and a 2001 Missouri Supreme Court decision made the law's application to these particular circumstances uncertain. (6) The applicable ordinance, Ordinance Section 21-54, provides that all records pertaining to complaints filed against police officers alleging misconduct of the police officer shall be open records, with exceptions for those closed by federal or state law and those that disclose the identity of an undercover officer. (7) A similar issue was before the Supreme Court of Missouri in 2001. In Guyer v. City of Kirkwood, the court held that reports concerning an internal investigation into a complaint alleging criminal misconduct by a police officer are investigative reports, and therefore are public records that cannot be closed on the grounds that they are personnel records. (8) Columbia Ordinance Section 21-54 differs from the Supreme Court of Missouri's precedent in that it does not use the word criminal. (9) Ultimately, there appeared to be an argument for keeping the documents secret, at least according to the Columbia Police Officers Association. (10) The Daily Tribune, along with its counsel, Missouri Press Association (MPA) attorney Jean Maneke, had limited options available to them. They could head in as an intermediary. Or, they could let the city and police officers decide just how the ordinance applied to state Freedom of Information (FOI) law. Although the Daily Tribune, like other papers across the nation, was managing its way through tough economic times, it didn't relish the prospect of a lengthy--and costly--trip through the courts in pursuit of the files. As Tribune Managing Editor Jim Robertson explained: Unfortunately, we always have to weigh the potential cost in dollars against principal and the potential harm an adverse ruling could create on a larger scale. These days, we have to choose our battles very carefully. (11) So the Daily Tribune turned to the National Freedom of Information Coalition (NFOIC) and its Knight FOI Fund, which provided a grant to cover the upfront costs of the FOI litigation. (12) That the NFOIC's Litigation Committee could pay up to $10,000 for legal fees soothed some fears as the paper made the decision to pursue the records. (13) The grant also encouraged the participation of the MPA, which took the case pro bono. (14) It took about forty-five minutes for a Boone County judge to determine that the law mandated that the documents be released. (15) T.J. Greaney, the Daily Tribune reporter, now had access to the requested documents and videos, which told the story of the fracas through the statements of dozens of witnesses. (16) The cost? More than $12,000--quite a chunk of change for a local daily. (17) Fortunately, the paper had the NFOIC's support. The paper only had to pay out a far more affordable $2,065. …" @default.
