Walk It Through: The Records Request
A request for a police report, a public body that goes quiet, an extension, and a fee that disappears.
A resident wants a village's records about a road project.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
A request for ordinary records with no exemption claimed. A denial under an exemption, a request for a whole category of records, and a review by the public access counselor are left to the pages.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
