The Inspection of Public Records Act is intended to provide the public with access to information about governmental affairs. Open government is a crucial aspect of a functioning democracy.
The law requires public access to virtually all public records. While there are a few legitimate exceptions, most are available for public inspection. We encourage public officials to be liberal in providing public access and to honor all reasonable and legitimate requests for records. They know that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Responsibility for enforcement of this Act lies with individual citizens, the District Attorneys and the Attorney General.
Realistically; who is going to have a chance against APS and Modral in a Second Judicial District Courtroom?
The Attorney General? one would hope.
The District Attorney? maybe.
The private citizen? a snowball’s chance in hell.
Because the Attorney General and the District Attorneys cannot be everywhere, it is imperative that private citizens enforce their right to public records.
How exactly?
by throwing themselves in front of a bus?
