Jonathan Peters discusses a half-dozen court cases in which the government has sued someone who filed a public records request. The cases could have a chilling effect, Peters writes: "In some of these cases, the government feared being sued itself, and initiated litigation to try to force the court to decide whether the records were public. Still, in each case, there was a risk that the free flow of information would be chilled because of the government’s actions."
