Why Would Lafayette Police Deny My Records Request?
Some records are not releasable to the public. The City of Lafayette also lists failing to affirm that the records will not be used for the direct solicitation of business for pecuniary gain as a reason for denial. If you are requesting your own report for your own claim, signing that statement is routine.
Have a Lafayette Injury Attorney Review Your Accident Report
