American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire v. New Hampshire Division of State Police

Summary

The court affirmed the order requiring disclosure of records concerning a former state trooper under the Right-to-Know Law. It held that the police-personnel-file statute operates within the context of particular criminal cases and does not categorically prohibit public disclosure under the Right-to-Know Law. The court further concluded that the two statutory schemes serve different purposes and can coexist without producing an absurd result.
