Here are a few nuggets from this 50-a decision:

After an "in a nutshell" history of 50-a, the Court summarizes the "sweeping statutory reforms" that were "enacted in combination with the complete repeal of" 50-a including specifically changes to the FOIL
"...with the repeal of CRL 50-a, FOIL requests for law enforcement personnel records are now to be considered in a light that makes them available *unless* a particular record, or portion thereof, falls within a recently enacted statutory exception or a pre-existing one..."

Lot of great takes on Glomar and police transparency under #FOIA / #FOIL in today's @NYCLU opinion, but I like the second half about bogus "trade secrets" exemptions even better
Even after finding NYPD invoked trade secrets wayyyyyyy too late, the Court went ahead to consider it on merits to make clear that pricing info is simply NOT a trade secret.
Particularly love this bit: NYPD's vendor whined that releasing pricing info would allow competitors "to undercut our prices." Welcome to the market, kiddos!
