Alabama state attorney: Photographing public records for free is ‘stealing’
« Watchdog.org
CULLMAN, Ala. — In what would appear to be a case of government run amuck,
at least two state agencies in Alabama won’t let people take pictures of
public records, with an attorney for one equating the idea with stealing.
Tim McCollum, an assistant attorney general with the Alabama Department of
Public Safety, told AL.com a taxpayer who wants to get a document for free
by taking a picture wants “to steal from the citizens of Alabama.”
