Dear Mr. Turner:
You have asked for an opinion concerning the application of Civil Rights Law § 50-a. You advised us that the police department has a longstanding policy of posting the results of disciplinary matters on a department bulletin board located in an area of police headquarters that is off limits to the public. You ask whether this policy violates Civil Rights Law § 50-a.
You state that the postings at issue are made for a period of up to thirty days…
