2. Police blotter.

All “original records of entry, such as police blotters, that are maintained by criminal justice agencies and that are compiled and organized chronologically” are public records.  16 M.R.S.A. § 612(2)(B).  A trial court ruled that name and address of the complainant or caller in an electronic equivalent of a police blotter were confidential even if the law enforcement agency makes no specific showing that releasing the identity of the complainant would interfere with the law enforcement investigation or constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Lewiston Daily Sun v. Herrick, Docket No. CV-95-36 (July 15, 1996). The case was not appealed.
