"Gone to the attorney general” on a public information request is not the nefarious tactic of crooks and fiends and those with something to hide it sounds like. It’s actually a common action that’s more CYA than cover-up.whole bunch of blue line mfers who don't give a fuck about anyone elsehttps://t.co/n9ofKD64EJ pic.twitter.com/3Uxo8QOGam

The request of the AG is allowed under the statute, and all it means is that any information released is authorized for release. Now you see where the CYA comes in. If the constable’s office releases information contrary to law (quite a few laws apply), the office could face liability. The AG’s opinion means whatever information that is released has been authorized.
It’s not a delaying tactic. It’s not an obstruction tactic. It’s SOP. If I were advising the constable, I’d probably request an AG opinion just as a matter of good legal practice.
Ignorance of the law really is a dangerous thing. And it makes you look stupid. Like, Trump-stupid.
Don't be Trump-stupid.
