Right-to-Know Law • Noncriminal Investigation Exemption • Motor Vehicle Recordings
Port Auth. of Allegheny County v. Towne, PICS Case No. 17-1461 (Pa. Commw. Sept. 12, 2017) Leadbetter, S.J. (12 pages)
OOR erred in holding that video recordings made by cameras on an authority bus were not exempt pursuant to the noncriminal investigation exemption where requester sought videos after a vehicle accident that led him to file a property claim against the authority because the recordings, which the authority’s claims adjuster reviewed in the course of investigating requester’s property damage claim were related to and part of the noncriminal investigation and constituted investigative materials. Reversed.
