i would love to know why these ACLU assholes got involved and why warrants were sealed. that's the one thing ACLU is good for, getting that shit unsealed. but sometimes there is a good reason for the secrecy.
any critically sensitive material could be redacted.

BURLINGTON — The American Civil Liberties Union is getting involved in a public records case stemming from the disappearance of a Vermont couple.
The ACLU was asked by the Vermont Supreme Court to weigh in on whether police search-warrant documents related to the disappearance of Bill and Lorraine Currier, of Essex, should remain secret.
Allen Gilbert, executive director of the ACLU’s Vermont chapter, says the ACLU plans to file papers asking the Supreme Court to make the documents public.
The court has set a Sept. 13 hearing in the case.
It stems from a dispute between Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan and the Burlington Free Press. The Free Press (http://bit.ly/nnL2mU ) has sought release of the materials, while Donovan says that could compromise the investigation into the couple’s disappearance June 8.
