So in January 2008, I asked OPD if a report had been filed regarding a December 2007 stop by them. At that time I was told that no report had been filed. I have since learned that one was filed, and have the report number.
What I'm trying to determine is if this is something I can pursue as a public records act violation, or if it is even worth the trouble? I see that judicial penalties start at $5 per day which make this an attractive case to pursue if it is viable.
OTOH the trouble it might stir up may not be worth it either. FWIW I don't think I was deliberately misinformed about the lack of a report, but that does not change the fact that there was one, and that I was never informed of it.
I suppose before I go off half cocked I should find out when this report was written. I made my request on January 3, 2008. If the report was written after that then I don't really have a leg to stand on.
