Cool Justice / RegCit Column: Where people disappear, there are no missing persons files

EXCERPT:

After nearly a year of knocking on doors, getting tossed from the police superintendent’s office and community meetings and following up with various requests, the New Orleans Police Department actually admitted it had failed to comply with the Louisiana public records law. This happened through a series of depositions of detectives and other personnel after I was compelled to file suit in the Civil District Court for the Parish of New Orleans.
