Judge agrees to keep police officers identity protected under Marsys law for now
Read full article: Judge agrees to keep police officers identity protected under Marsys law for nowJudge Charles Dodson last week decided that the amendment known as Marsys Law, approved by Florida voters in 2018, doesnt apply to law enforcement officers and that their names should be released.

But Assistant City Attorney Hannah Monroe argued that an automatic stay isnt warranted in the Tallahassee case. The First Amendment Foundation, the Florida Press Association and a number of media outlets have intervened in the lawsuit, arguing that allowing Marsys Law to apply to law enforcement officers would undercut the states open-records laws. There were numerous times in there that I referred to officers acting in their official capacity, the judge said, referring to his order.
