[edit] MCSO stymies requests for information — even from regulators

"The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office tries to stifle almost anyone checking on its operations.

It keeps secret the most basic data about its police work that other departments publish every year. It refuses to release public records - or tries to remove information from those records - without any legal right to do so.

And even agencies that oversee Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office cannot pry free documents that MCSO wants to keep from the public."
