[edit] Police public files costly

"A series of state court rulings in a case that originated in the city firmly established that police internal affairs files are public records in Massachusetts.

The state Appeals Court noted in a key ruling nearly five years ago that public access to police internal affairs documents “promotes the core value of trust between citizens and police.”

Case closed.

Or so it seemed at the time."
