[edit] Police records: Follow the law
"Local governments in Georgia can't arbitrarily decide which information they wish to make public.
They must follow state law.
And it's not complicated. The mandates of the Open Records Act are clear and straightforward.
Legally, government agencies can't pick and choose which portions of the law they want to follow anymore than a falling rock can fight gravity.
Unfortunately, attorneys for the City of Savannah have chosen so far to take a hard-headed stand and are refusing to follow state law, as it applies to public records at the Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department."
