The New York Civil Liberties Union announced today that it's suing the Albany Police Department for what it describes as a "refusal to fully disclose public records about its use of Tasers." The NYCLU says the APD and Saratoga Springs police were the only departments to provide redacted policies during a survey. It says a state Supreme Court judge ordered the SSPD to turn over the whole document in May and the department did so. (the headline allusion)
