Titus Documents

[pogue]

Has anyone requested documents related to the Titus case from the LVPD or the DA's office?  I have sent in several requests to them and have gotten nothing in return.

I was just wondering if anyone has any luck with them.

what specific document are you requesting?  and to whom did you direct you request?

what specific document are you requesting?  and to whom did you direct you request?

I called the LVPD and they told me to fax in my request for info.  I requested all the relevant documents related to the case, such as criminal complaints, warrants, mug shots, etc.

I sent the fax and never heard back.

I emailed them first

Never heard back...

I just got off the phone with the LVPD and they questioned whether or not I was a "real" journalist.  I'm going to call back later and speak with a Sgt in charge of the case and talk to him more.

Really, whether or not I'm a journalist is irrelevant as Nevada public law allows anyone to access public records.  The EFF has also fought a legal case to show the fact that bloggers can be considered journalists.  So, that's what I'll end up telling him if push comes to shove.

just break into the police station and steal the files.

Ongoing investigations are not public record.  You have to wait until the records are released.

Yes, they are.  They are usually just censored to remove certain key information.

I already did, and never heard back.  That's why I called them and they are questioning my credentials.  I have seen the documents shown on news programs, but for some reason they want to know who I work for and what I have written in the past.

sorry but i suspect you will have to wait a bit longer.  a human being has been killed.

pending matters. 

provide your information and they will consider it

Wrong!!

Just visit thesmokinggun.com and look what they have.  Many documents on recent and current events.  If this was a federal case I could request FOIA on it, but since it's local I have to go through some po-dunk sheriff who thinks he's hot shit.

Like I said, I've already seen local LV news reports that show the documents on the screen, including mug shots and copies of the police report that were linked to from freecraigtitus.com.  I'm just trying to get a scanned copy of it for us to read for ourselves.

Either way, they said they would release them, they were just questioning my credentials.  If I worked for a news agency, I would have them.
