In 2014, the Illinois appellate court ruled that records of police
misconduct are public information. In theory, access to police complaint
data would have given Chicagoans the kind of view of police misconduct no
other city has ever been privy to.

But a majority of the complaints were never released. Citing their contract
with the city, Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) was able to get an
injunction on most of the data dating back to 1967.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
