State Supreme Court Takes Up KOMO Suit

The public’s right to an inside seat on issues of possible police misconduct is now in the hands of the Washington Supreme Court. At issue is access to police dashcam videos and how long police departments can keep those videos from the public. After repeatedly refusing to release the public records, KOMO News sued the Seattle Police Department, and the case has now reached the state Supreme Court.
