Little Rock Backs-Off Charging Anti-Corruption Bloggers for FOIA Requests

OUTGOING LRPD CHIEF KENTON TREMAR BUCKNER HAD NO RESPECT FOR THE AFOIA Last week LRPD made a bonehead move by proclaiming that they would only provide responses made under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act ("AFOIA"), by placing the requested public record on a CD or DVD and charge $3.00  for each disc. As usual, LRPD leadership - specifically, Kenton Tremar Buckner - failed to run this plan by city attorney Tom Carpenter. Carpenter, who is quick to point out that he is an expert concerning the AFOIA and cites a listing in the acknowledgment of the well-know treatise concerning the AFOIA to back up his claim. Anyone that regularly makes use of the AFOIA and all public employees should know ( Ignorantia juris non excusat ) that Section 25-19-105(d)(2)(B) of the AFOIA states a "citizen may request a copy of a public record in any medium in which the record is readily available or in any format to which it is readily convertible with

YOU CAN THANK THESE TWO FOR THE PROBLEMS AT THE LITTLE ROCK POLICE DEPARTMENT The crisis that the city of Little Rock is experiencing has just expanded exponentially. 2017 was a year that the city saw unmatched violence and a homicide rate that matched the Banging in the Rock days.  LRPD officers had difficulty determining the difference in a cellphone and a handgun. Troubled City Manager Bruce " Home Wrecker " Moore saw no problems tossing away $10,000 to two LRPD recruits that walked away with his no-strings-attached $5k bonus within six months on the job. IT APPEARS MOORE HAS A FETISH FOR MARRIED WOMEN Moore also wasted over $14,000 sending the befouled police chief Buckner to Harvard for a month-long class on leadership.  Perhaps some civic-minded individual will file an illegal exaction suit.  LRPD showed a marked defiance for the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act and transparency in their repeated lack of cooperation in complying

We were contacted several weeks ago by the girlfriend of one o
