[edit] Keep court audio open to the public
"In courtrooms around Florida, proceedings are routinely captured electronically and later transcribed. Both the written transcriptions and the original sound recordings are valuable. But the Florida Bar as well as the chief judge of the Pinellas-Pasco circuit court, among others, want to put the electronic record out of reach of the public. Like nearly all attempts to shield public records, it's a bad idea. The Florida Supreme Court, which will hear the request on Monday, needs to reject it."
