Unpublished trial court OPRA opinion.

"Unpublished opinions" are not published in the law books and are not ordinarily written about in legal periodicals. Unless somebody puts them on-line and calls attention to them, they are likely not to be located by people who may want to search for them. I think that it's important that court opinions, even if they are not precedential, are easily accessible for future use.

Summary: Township violated OPRA by denying access to audio recordings of police radio tramsmissions. Even though the audio recordings were relevant to a subsequent police internal affairs investigation, the IA investigation does not retroactively exempt the recordings from OPRA's disclosure requirement.
