We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

You don't by chance remember the name of the officer and the Sgt. thatbacked himdo you, being very closeto the KCMO PD, I would be curious to here thereargument to this incidentand even run this by a few friends that I know have more experience and rank than the above. I have done some research on your incident and I can't find any K.C. statute or subthat might apply to there argument. By doing this we may or may not learn something new about the laws of KCMO, on the other hand maybe we can teach this officer and his "boss" something new, after all they don't sit around and read all the laws of K.C., and I wouldnt expect them to, they have more important things to do.

I notice your post is pretty old but I'm taking a chance here. Do you know how long a county department has to respond to a public information request? I need the laws and the Freedom of Information statutes in Missouri. I live in Carthage and am having problems getting things accomplished. I appreciate your help.

Here is the text of Revised Missouri Statute Chapter 610 straight from the Mo government web site:
http://ago.mo.gov/sunshinelaw/chapter610.htm#header11
You might want to peruse this nifty little document for your own benefit just to see if you can uncover some neat little gems, but just during a cursory read through, I came up with this:
Pay particular attention to 610.023, subparagraph 3:
The neat thing about this site from the Missouri Government, is that it also explains procedures and fines for government officials failing to comply. So you can use this info to perform a FOIA request, and if a government agent fails to follow the procedures in the "sunshine law" as it is called in Missouri, it also spells out the procedures to make the "slacker" government official pay through the nose if they don't follow the procedures outlined.
Hope this helps!
