Over the years, the Record has carried out lots of investigations, like when they exposed Marion's city administrator for allowing contaminated reservoir water to be used as drinking water or, more recently, when they followed up on tips about the new police chief's background. It's that type of accountability reporting that's upset some local officials and readers. But Whitney Douglas, a Marion County resident, says she's bothered by the police raid on the paper.

They didn’t say, which probably means yes.

How else will they show bad apples that they want them to stay? You can’t suspend someone with no pay just because they violated someone’s free speech in the most explicit way possible.

Because he turned off his bodycam and asked people to delete texts during the investigation.

Definitely a crime, no chance he’s charged. He’ll be in Florida enjoying his pension by the end of the week

Yup here’s the lawsuit that will produce the settlement.

“Alleging First and Fourth Amendment violations, as well as retaliation, invasion of privacy, police failure to train or supervise, and more, Eric Meyer sued the City of Marion and a number of police officials on both his own behalf and on behalf of his mother’s estate on April 1. The lawsuit triggers a new chapter in a saga that Meyer says has rocked his family and his small town since reporters at the Marion County Record began digging into allegations of misconduct by the county’s then-police chief Gideon Cody.”
