[edit] Public records: Fees a thinly disguised barrier

"Since America is not a police state, when a crime occurs in your neighborhood, you have a right to know the basics of what happened.

The founders of this nation knew firsthand the dangers of a government that operated in secrecy, of flimsy charges and of people getting spirited away in dark of night.

For that reason, from the Declaration of Independence's insistence on individual liberty to the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights, government is held accountable."
