ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ of Florida v. City of Sarasota - Stingray Cell Phone Tracking

Location: Florida
Last Update: June 3, 2014

What's at Stake

The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ of Florida has filed an emergency motion in court to prevent the Sarasota, Florida, Police Department from continuing to violate state open records laws. After the ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ submitted a public records request for documents related to the use of β€œstingray” cell phone tracking devices, the Department initially offered to turn over records. But then it reversed course and allowed the U.S. Marshals Service to seize the files, in violation of state law. The ΊμΠΣΚΣΖ΅ sued to prevent the Police Department from turning over any more records to the Marshals, and to force it to regain control over the original records and disclose them to the public as required by the state public records law.
