Attorney Sam Aguiar today filed the latest in a series of open records lawsuits against LMPD. Aguiar represents Breonna Taylor's family. This records access dispute centers on LMPD's refusal to release additional body cam video from the night she was killed.

In a January 15 post, the Kentucky Open Government Coalition harshly criticized the "litany of generic excuses, e.g., identify witnesses, influence witness recollection, taint the jury pool," LMPD regularly trots out to justify nondisclosure of nearly all records in an open criminal investigation/enforcement—a position that is at odds with governing legal authority.

We concluded our post with an apology:

"At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the Coalition again vigorously objects to LMPD's legally unsupportable position that all records compiled in ongoing investigations/enforcement actions are exempt"

"But in our defense, LMPD itself sounds a lot like a broken record."
