Texas Town Charging Reporters $79,000 for Emails About Cop Abuse

“Days after McKinney, Texas, police officer Eric Casebolt was filmed pointing his service weapon at a group of unarmed black teenagers at a pool party this month, Gawker submitted a Public Information Act request to the city of McKinney asking to see Casebolt’s records and any emails about his conduct sent or received by McKinney Police Department employees. Today, we received a letter from the city’s attorneys claiming that fulfilling our request would cost $79,229.09.  Since when are year-old emails not searchable? Is the city of McKinney still corresponding via telegram?”
