Bob Harper. The circuit court denied disclosure, finding the records protected under the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The appellate court reversed, holding that FOIA does not preempt the Sunshine Law for state agency records and that the records retained by MSHP are not \"agency records\" for FOIA purposes, thus making them subject to disclosure under state law.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=146094","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/kimberly-harper-and-sharon-kay-harper-v-missouri-state-highway-patrol-et-d82465","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
