Minnesota police association sues state over release of 257 undercover officers' names.

Minnesota's largest police association has sued the state's licensing board, alleging they released the names of 257 undercover officers to the public, violating the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. The MPPOA seeks a temporary restraining order to prevent further data dissemination and to inform affected officers of the breach. The board's director admitted to the error and apologized, but the information had already been shared with news organizations and downloaded by the public.
