It is not clear that even their unconscionable contract covers my case, and I have been refused access by Mr. Burke to look at their records to ascertain this.

After getting wind of alleged police shenanigans-ticket fixing by cops and an after-hours party in a bowling alley that was heavily attended by blue uniforms-Sentinel newsmen sought out Chief Breier. His response was to refuse access to the departmental orders from which the reporters could have gathered the names of the offenders. That was last spring. The paper took the matter to court, where Breier's departmental records were ordered restored to public scrutiny...
