Judge Orders Chicago Police Department to Turn Over Misconduct Documents
------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Illinois judge has ordered the Chicago Police Department to turn over
documents detailing nearly five decades of misconduct allegations
against police officers. Judge Alison Conlon ordered the police
department to turn over the files after ruling that the department had
"willfully and intentionally failed to comply" with the Illinois Freedom
of Information Act. The documents will be published on the website of
the Invisible Institute, which covers police misconduct and abuse in
Chicago.
