Denver Sued for Records on Convention Security Purchases

· Story link

The city of Denver was sued by the ACLU for refusing to release information on the kind of equipment police have purchased in preparation for the Democratic Convention in August. Denver said release of the information “could potentially disclose tactical security information” but the ACLU said the public has a right to know how the $18 million the city received from a federal grant will be spent and that any tactical information could be redacted. .
