Over the last couple of weeks, the York Daily Record has sent three people to the York County Clerk of Courts Office, requesting to look at files in various criminal cases.
In all instances, they were denied the
right to look at those documents in the office free of charge and were told they must pay for hard copies or to have digital versions sent to them.
The key word there is “right.”
You have a right as a citizen of this presumptively open and transparent commonwealth to look at criminal case files — without paying for them.
