Philadelphia settles class action suit

Posted by David Hardy · 22 July 2014 10:40 AM

Joshua Prince announces that a class action brought by himself and two other attorneys has settled. It challenged Philadelphia's disclosure of private carry permit information. Philadelphia disclosed information regarding appeals from initial denials or revocations online, despite a State law provision making it confidential.

The settlement terms include the city paying $1.45 million, agreeing never to disclose again, scrapping information requirements that exceed those embodied in statute, and instituting a lot of other reforms.

As usual, the people who actually violated the law and violated individuals' rights will walk away clean; it's only the city of Philadelphia (i.e., private citizen-taxpayers, included those victims of these violations) who will have to pay. Perhaps someday there will be actual personal consequences imposed for such violations; until then, it will be business as usual.
