Exercising 45-254 again... this time in the open and shut down completely

The discretionary release of video footage before an investigation is completed is reckless and complete against the idea that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This Chief would rather use the court of Public Opinion. His discretionary abuse of his authority to release or not release information is on full display again. "Good Video" we're happy to release to everyone, but if you try to openly record your visit to see footage of yourself... not a chance. K.S.A. 45-254 says nothing about the ability of the public to record the release of a record considered to be open to them. The law is silent on the matter. Unfortunately, the Lawrence Police Department has once again commanded discretionary authority over that which is not specifically denied to them. Here is the 1st recorded visit to view footage (with my attorney):    • 2022 0329 Exercising KSA45-254(c) and ille...   The only differences in the two are that I did not tell them I still intended to record and didn't hold a camera in my hand. I did not violate the law and they know it. This misuse and entirely discretionary application of KORA statutes nullifies the policy and this pattern of behavior becomes an intentional violation of KORA statute both in the letter and spirit of the law.
