Seattle suing attorney over dash cam videos | KING5.com Seattle: The attorney represents some citizens who claim they were abused by Seattle Police officers.
Acting as a citizen, lawyer James Egan filed a public disclosure request to get 36 dash cam showing possible violations by Seattle Police.
Many dash cam videos have surfaced in the past, but they were leaked to the media, not released by the city.
The answer to Egan's request was no. And after he appealed, Wednesday he learned he has been sued by the city.
"I was floored that I got this lawsuit," said Egan. "Its the city caught between a rock and a hard place."
The city attorney wants a court to decide. He says the Washington privacy act says the videos can't be made public until final disposition of related litigation.
