[edit] Police delay goes against purported goal

"Imagine getting pulled over by a police officer who points out that your inspection sticker has expired and you’re violating the law.

In return, you explain that you’re busy at work and having problems at home. You’ll get to it when you can, you tell the cop. It would be irresponsible to comply with the law when you have other matters to deal with.

In essence, that’s the Worcester Police Department’s justification for failing to obey the public records law and turn over internal affairs records of a single officer requested in April by the Telegram & Gazette. State law requires custodians of public records to release them within 10 days."
