All police incident reports, arrest reports and traffic reports are public information. The news media and attorneys who specialize in personal injury accidents and possible incients of police brutality go to the records division on a regular basis and check the logs to see whats up. The attorneys look for incidents and traffic accidents where an 'injury' may have occured and a law suit may be possible. Some security companies also cull the burgalay reports for perspective customers.
Before everyone gets mad about this, the police departments are not the bad guys here. The courts have mandated that these reports by available to the public and the attorneys are still part of the public. Now you know one reason your auto insurance rates are so high.
