Staff Report//February 18, 2019//
Listen to this articleWhere a sheriff, who claimed that disclosure of a 911 recording of an altercation in which he was involved violated the Sunshine Law, sought actual and punitive damages, the permissive nature of the statute does not allow for a remedy for the improper disclosure of otherwise closed records, so the judgment for the defendants is affirmed.
Judgment is affirmed.
