QUABBIN - Who "Blacked Out" the names of the Muslim treaspassers?

According to the Republican ... Massachusetts State Police appeal clerk's decision not to issue criminal complaints against alleged Quabbin Reservoir trespassers.

 Why was an area of the public record "blacked out" and "the identifying information for the trespassers ... removed from the public log by the state police media relations unit."?

“In our view, the clerk’s decision was contrary to our past understanding with the court, specifically, that the continuance without criminal complaints (which is how minor motor vehicle matters are generally handled) is not the resolution in cases involving violations of the Quabbin watershed rules. This has been the practice in recent years,” Procopio said.

Because the alleged trespassers are not facing any criminal charges at this time, Procopio said their names will not be released.

The log from May 14 at the state police barracks at the Quabbin only shows a log entry of “trespass” at 00:30 hours with an area blacked out. State police attached to the barracks said the identifying information for the trespassers was removed from the public log by the state police media relations unit.

The Northwestern District Attorney’s Office said the trespass cases are being handled by the Massachusetts State Police, and referred questions to Procopio.

Who decided to black out the names? On whose authority? Was an official gag order issued?

In American we do not submit to rule by Allah, Mohammed, or Obama - but only to the rule of LAW.

The LAW does not permit ANYONE to illegally black out names from a public record.

Media Relations is ...

"responsible for providing the public with timely and accurate information regarding the State Police's crime prevention initiatives, law enforcement efforts and public safety measures. As a result, we provide public information to media outlets by generating news releases, holding press conferences and providing spokespersons to ensure that the public is continuously kept aware of our activities and services."

... and NOT for blacking out the names of people accused of a crime.
