Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Ashe grants a request by an alleged police brutality victim, awarding civil penalties in the total amount of $17,000 for the city’s failure to timely respond to his state law public records requests for interviews by internal affairs investigators, 911 call materials and police body-worn camera footage. The city acted unreasonably or arbitrarily by failing to give any explanation for its seven-business-day delay in responding to the litigant’s first public records request, instead stating he did not suffer any injury due to the de minimus delay. A civil penalty is not awarded based on the injury suffered by the requestor; it is awarded when a custodian unreasonably fails to timely notify the requestor of the availability of records, advise of an exception for their production or provide an estimated completion date.
