CHICAGO (CBS) –Records of misconduct against Chicago Police officers must be preserved, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled Thursday, dealing a setback to the police union, which wanted them destroyed.

The justices voted 6-1 against the police union. The court found that destroying the documents would violate that state’s public records law.

“In light of the plain language of the Local Records Act, we agree with the City that the statutory framework the General Assembly constructed makes clear that Illinois recognizes a public policy favoring the proper retention of government records,” the court said.

The city had argued that state law requires CPD to keep the records intact, but the Chicago Fraternal Order of Police argued their contract with the city required records older than five years to be destroyed.

So happy to see the police union lose some of their insane power. They openly support police torture from jon burge.
