Crimes and Public Information

The new crime blotter is up. See the right-hand margin for all crimes in Lake Worth yesterday. I immediately filed a request with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office asking for more information on the robbery on Lake Worth Road and the burglary at Third Avenue North. I'm now waiting...

Note that the PBSO redacted all information from a report they gave me in response to a request for information about the burglary at a home on Griswold Drive, in the Lake Osborne area, on August 14. The law, as I read it, does not allow them to do this. The ACLU has been called, the First Amendment Foundation has been called. Lawyers are looking at it. Progress will be made to get compliance with public records laws. It just might be slow.
