Ya know, it seems like the legislature thinks the capitol is their house. I thought it was built with taxpayer money. I think it’s the people’s house

Not a governmental agency that can be issued a request?
If not them, then who?

All those troopers should be fired

This is not their job

It's not an undercover operation. Troopers are standing RIGHT THERE.
Every cent should be disclosed to the taxpayer.

Dudes think those hats make them look like Marine Corps drill sergeants, but actually make them look like Gomer Pyle.

Isn’t this what FOIR requests are for?

speakercode.bsky.social•13 days ago

what if you requested the same information but from the state troopers, would they have to comply with FOIA?

Well that’s quite the list of “exceptions” they’ve made in regards to the Tn Public Records Act 😳.

People have to remember that cops are the enemy of societal change.

Number of troopers and salaries? Or some other bits of data that hasn’t been “judicially excluded”? There has to be some accounting and it is clearly in the public interest.
