Some parties AT THIS TIME assert that juvenile records in Arkansas can be accessed through a FOIA request—namely the retired police chief who seems to have clandestinely released the information, along with perhaps others out to destroy the Duggars.
If such information release were legal, why would the retired police chief have done this clandestinely?? It appears that she and/or others did it for sheer malevolence.
If the FOIA assertion were to stand, youthful indiscretions of millions of youth who have moved on from adolesence would be up for grabs and for full-throated publication in every slime publication and medium. Blackmail would be a major new business.
The cop's personal life and LATER troubles have not been shown to have affected the filing nor content of the juvenile report in any manner.
You didn't reply if you had actually watched and listened to the M. Kelly interviews. Nor did you state exactly what “kinds of things in the TV interviews....don't match the facts.”
Do please tell us the facts.
Finally, we have a factual—factual—history on Obama. Period.
The County had to release under FOIA too.
The Chief of Police that may or may not have had an axe to grind vs. the Duggars would have nothing to do with that.
There is nothing clandestine about FOIA. You present your request and the authorities comply. Arkansas has VERY liberal laws about them. Maybe Jimbob should have had an attorney make sure those juvenile records were erased when Josh turned 18. He didn’t.
As for the millions of youth being vulnerable to FOIA requests, I don’t think that millions of kids have anything resembling the fame of the Duggars so a tabloid wouldn’t go to the expense and effort to get them.
As for did I watch the interviews, yes I did.
I thought the daughters did much better than the parents, good enough for TLC to give their spinoff TV show a try .which I believe was most of the reason for them and only them to interview.
