So Mars say...

[Xenomorph]

"In the original request made by Mars, Ole Miss took the position that Freeze was allowed to redact personal calls from his phone records. Mars said there is no such legal authority in Mississippi that would allow the school to “delay, redact or withhold a University phone log which contains nothing but phone numbers, dates, times, the duration of calls, and the cities associated with the listed phone numbers.”

Ok lawyers.. is he right or not? Were Freeze and Ole Miss in violation of the FOIA again by redacting phone calls?

no lawyer, but yes, they can't redact calls on a state phone

So this high priced lawyer with all this dick swagger is full of crap? I'm honestly asking because I've not a clue and I suspect whether or not Ole Miss plays football in 2018 and 2019 is riding on it.

Shmuley said the Ethics Commission has ruled that personal calls can be redacted, but I haven't seen the opinion.

Would like to read if Shmuley can direct us to it.

Obviously not the answer you're looking for, but shouldn't Freeze be making "personal" calls on his "personal" phone? And using a University issued phone for business only? I'm not sure how calls can be redacted on a University issued phone in the first place.

Who decides which calls are personal and which aren't? What's stopping someone from just redacting any incriminating calls due to them being self-deemed as "personal?"

I think the key here is that if an alarming number of calls on a state owned phone are redacted and marked personal...it wouldn't add up/hold water. I would also think that redacting something and then finding out later somehow that it was for nefarious reasons would result in even more legal troubles.

I mean calling a hooker is as about as personal a phone call a coach can make. Gotta redact all those.
