LMPD responds to the Courier Journal's lawsuit to compel disclosure of the Breonna Taylor investigative file.

Rather than explain how release of individual records "poses a concrete risk of harm to the prospective action," LMPD trots out the usual parade of horribles that *might* result from disclosure of all records.

But the open records law requires more than "a hypothetical or speculative concern."

And requests to the LMPD for nondisclosure of its records from agencies conducting separate investigations — like the Kentucky Attorney General or the FBI — must be legally defensible under the City of Fort Thomas v Cincinnati Enquirer standard before LMPD agrees to honor them.

Just saying disclosure might be harmful to a prospective action doesn't justify nondisclosure absent an explanation of the concrete risk of harm posed.
