Copy Costs, Prisoners Who Want to Inspect Records, and The First Edition of States Not Named Ohio

Ohio Public Records Briefing Issue - #12

On the 12th edition of Public Records Briefing, my true love gave to me…

🚨OHIO SUPREME COURT ALERT🚨

Last week, the Ohio Supreme Court turned the world of law enforcement public records on its head! State Ex Rel. Myers v. Meyers, the new case, will drastically change what information has to be released when an “initial incident report” gets requested and how the confidential law enforcement investigatory record exception can be applied. If you’ve taken public records trainings from attorneys Mark Weaver or Ryan Stubenrauch – or from anyone who knows this law – know that some things we’ve taught for more than a decade are now changing!

To explain the implications of this ruling and tell you how your agency may have to change practices, Mark Weaver and Ryan Stubenrauch will host an hour-long zoom session on July 12 at 1:30pm. We’ll go through what we think the case means, give some examples, and take your questions. But here’s the catch! This is only for paid subscribers to the Public Records Briefing!
