BANGOR (AP) – A Maine Superior Court judge will decide whether five activists can see files that state police may have on their activities.
The state maintains their request under the state Freedom of Access law fits exceptions allowed for law enforcement.
The Bangor Daily News reports that the five sued Maine state police last year in Penobscot County Superior Court after their request for information was denied.
Arguments were scheduled before Superior Court Justice William Anderson Tuesday.
The plaintiffs, who have been involved in nonviolent civil protests over the Iraq war and the use of Sears Island, among other activities, according to their attorney Philip Worden of Northeast Harbor, claim they have a right to see files about themselves.
