City police confiscates man's 41 gun collection three years ago and man has to sue

TBO,

Are you talking about the police report? I guess I could go and pick up a copy, but around here they don't just release those things to any Tom, Dick, or Harry. The only way I can get traffic accident reports is because I am the attorney representing my client, and believe me they ask.

Now, if you are talking about the Complaint, there won't be anything in it supporting the police department, and even if the police department files an Answer, the Answer is usually just a general denial to almost everything. Stuff doesn't start to come out until Discovery is performed and even then, Discovery is not filed with the Court so I cannot get a copy, unless it is filed as part of a Motion. About the only thing that becomes public is the trial record, any motions filed, and any testimony for hearings.
