Reporter Phyllis Zorn of the Marion County Record newspaper in Kansas looked into a tip about a local restaurant owner driving with an invalid license by going online to Kansas’ Revenue Department’s public search engine. She typed in the restaurant owner’s name, driver’s license number and date of birth — a legal and common practice for reporters protected by the First Amendment. A week later, six police officers arrived at the Record’s newsroom with a search warrant. They raided the office space and home of the paper’s 98-year-old owner on the pretense that Zorn illegally obtained the driving records. However, Zorn was completely innocent.
