I assume many, if not most, of the readers of this newsgroup are law
enforcement personnel and I have a question for them:
What information/details regarding crime, arrests and traffic
incidents in the local coimmunity are ordinary citizens typically
entitled to be given by local police upon request?
The reason I ask is that many times newspaper re****ts re****t crime
incidents, arrests of suspects and traffic incidents but these re****ts
do not provide names of those arrested or other details. As a citizen
of the community I would like to have more information regarding
suspects (for example, their immigration status and rap sheets, if
any.)
Thanks in advance to any readers who can educate me regarding this
issue.
