What type of information is explicitly protected under OPRA exemptions?

Victim's records and ongoing criminal investigations are explicitly protected under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA) exemptions. The legislation aims to balance the public’s right to access government records with the need to protect sensitive information. Specifically, information pertaining to victims of crime and details about investigations that are ongoing can lead to harm or compromise the integrity of legal processes if disclosed publicly. By exempting such information from the public record, OPRA seeks to ensure that victims' privacy is maintained and that law enforcement activities are not hindered by premature disclosures.

This careful consideration of sensitive information is critical in maintaining public trust in legal and investigative systems, offering protections for individuals involved while still promoting transparency where appropriate. The other options, while potentially sensitive in nature, do not robustly fall under the specific exemptions outlined by OPRA in the same way that victim's records and ongoing investigations do.
