Probable Cause, With the Case File Attached

Field notes

The project describes a deliberately narrow records workflow: requests go to the agency holding a specific recording, with statutory-fee disputes appealed rather than silently accepted. Its proposed case files combine dispatch material, 911 audio, body-camera footage, reports, charging documents, and final dispositions. Publication rules exclude cases without a known outcome and require redaction of minors, victims, witnesses, medical information, and identifying numbers. The extract does not include a published case to verify the workflow in practice.
